COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS

Top Selling Fully-Electric Vehicles in the United States

Tesla Model S ($70,000-$100,000) Despite its price, the Tesla Model is the top rated fully-electric car on the market. Long range performance and sports car-like handling completely on electricity. The Tesla Model S has great efficiency, is super spacious, has the highest safety ratings. With an infotainment/tech package and an attractive body style -- it will easily convert the gas guzzling SUV drivers into believers.

Mercedes B-Class Electric ($33,950-$47,500 ) Swift and smooth acceleration; whisper-quiet interior; easy-to-use regenerative braking.

Range isn't dramatically different from other less expensive EVs; less efficient than other EVs; availability limited to select states; stiff ride quality; limited standard equipment with pricey options list; less interior space than you'd expect.

Nissan LEAF ($21,510-$29,010) The LEAF is the best-selling electric car in history globally, in the US, in Europe, and in Japan. It is a really solid vehicle for a great price. The LEAF offers 84 miles (135 km) of range, 114 MPGe, a fairly roomy and comfortable interior, 5 seats, and decent acceleration (boosted, as all of these cars are to some degree or another, by the instant torque of its electric motor).

BMW i3 ($34,900-$42,400) The BMW i3 is rated at 61 miles per charge. It is an all-electric vehicle with an optional gas-powered range extender. Roomy four-person cabin; quick acceleration and strong brakes; nimble handling; excellent visibility; well-made and stylish interior; versatile cargo area for an EV.

VW e-Golf ($25,950-$33,450) The e-Golf also seats five, has 83 miles (134 km) of range, and gets an even better 116 MPGe. The e-Golf reportedly offers a nice drive, and there’s a sportier option you can upgrade. The e-Golf also offers heated front seats, a 7.2kW onboard charger, and a decent rearview camera.

Kia Soul EV ($33,700-$40,000) The Kia Soul EV promises and delivers on 93 miles of range between charges. Electric-powered torque is instantaneous and leads to excellent acceleration and driveability. Kia's Uvo infotainment is simple, but fully featured. Available ChaDeMo rapid charging can fill the battery to 80 percent in a half-hour.

Many automakers offer with semi-autonomous driving options: Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping, Emergency Braking, Self Parking, Higway Autopilot

Level 1 Interactions (Dashboard Right)

Level 1 Interactions (Dashboard Left Dashboard features are manually accessed by the intuitive buttons (up, down, right, left, OK) on the steering wheel. (See next page – steering wheel sketch) All features are on an easy to scroll list.

When appropriate, all car features can be accessed with Siri voice controls.

I adapted the controls of an existing steering wheel which operated many of the car features but did so in a safe way. I felt that having an actual touch screen with apps on the steering wheel panel would require the driver to look down. The buttons are intuitive, are detected by touch without sight and are easy to learn.

1 ‘Home’ button similar to an Apple iPhone that toggles the main image (GPS map, 360 View or standard speedometer) Possible: A single quick tap of the home button will change the screen. A longer (2 second) tap will activate Siri.

2 Seek or Find (Multi-media) 3 Activate Siri voice controls (Possible move to ‘home’ button) 4 Volume +/- (Multi-media) 5 Right Screen Auxillary Engagement (up and down arrows scroll through list, “ok” selects feature).

Interaction remains the same with each level.
