Designing an electric car dashboard

This project has been carried out in 4 days of research and development of the interactive prototype for work on data visualization.

The objective of the research is based on how users who drive an electric car can use the information to make decisions, based on the suggestions of the system.

The needs of drivers are different depending on the use they make of their vehicle, in this case, our user person after conducting 9 interviews with users of electric cars is as follows:

We discovered that, although the information provided by the vehicle system today is very effective, there is concern about the anticipation of events when making unusual journeys or in places far from their home, because this is the most frequent place of charge.

The objective of the project is to offer different solutions in different situations: being able to find the closest charging point taking into account the remaining battery, calculating the remaining route to reach all destinations, and displaying the eco mode if necessary.

The changes made are intended for vehicle drivers with the steering wheel located to the left, using their right hand in case they have to interact.

Eco mode changes consumption priorities, such as air conditioning, speed limit, and functionalities that are not considered as necessary as reaching the destination with sufficient load.
