Project Concept Statement

Project Concept StatementUsers

Electric Vehicle(EV) users

Context

- Global warming

- Social/ethical demand for vehicles that use cleaner energy

Goal

To provide a fun interaction of charging the electric car in the charging station, and to provide people using Ev cars a sense of contribution to the environment

Why?• Electric cars are the future for

sustainable energy. • Our system will visually show how

the use of electricity instead of gas is saving the environment. This can educate and give satisfaction for electric car drivers.

• This system will also encourage more drivers to use electric cars.

(why we are promoting EV)

Possible Ideas- Incorporate an interactive system between user/user’s vehicle and

EV charging pot- Raising animal/pet for emotional bond

- Can accumulate the sense of bond as the pet grows

- Entertainment factor in mundane daily life charging pot use

Research & References
