Electric car range displays and energy management while driving

This has been the main body of my thesis work in which I have looked at how drivers of electric cars manage their energy while driving. In my work I have analysed how current tools are used in practice and identified several issues with too simplistic displays. The main outcome presented as a core part of my doctoral thesis points towards empowering electric car drivers by unfolding parts of the complexity of energy consumption while driving.

Virtual Reality Electric Vehicle Simulator

In this project we are building a Virtual Reality Electric Vehicle Simulator. The vehicle simulates battery consumption and recharging and allows us to test various kinds of visualisation to support driver decision making and planning. The virtual environment allows us to test scenarious otherwise difficult to study in real settings.
