UI/UX

CONCEPTUAL

Many EV dashboards overwhelm drivers with cluttered layouts and complex interactions. This concept focuses on clarity and essential information to support a calmer, less cognitively demanding driving experience.

The interface deliberately prioritizes primary driving information, keeping secondary features accessible without competing for attention.

From Clutter to Clarity

Research

Research focused on situations where drivers need quick access to essential information rather than full system control. On-site observations and interviews showed that dense layouts and frequent context switching caused frustration, highlighting the need for clearer hierarchy and reduced visual competition.

Layout Strategy

Screen Structure

The layout is organized around visibility and reach, placing the most critical information closest to the driver and pushing secondary actions outward. Functions are grouped into clear zones to reduce scanning and simplify interaction while driving.
