Energy Flow
Marc Landau, Sebastian Loehmann, Moritz Körber · 2014
The lack of sound and vibration while starting the drive system of an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the major differences compared to a conventional car with a combustion engine. Most EVs provide a visual feedback about the energy level to the driver. With Energy Flow (see Figure 1), we test if there will be a benefit in terms of attractiveness through adding audible or haptic feedback. First results show a positive effect by addressing several senses -- but disprove the hypothesis "the more the merrier".
