User-Friendly Embedding of Vehicle Fast Charging in Primary Vehicle Use with Persona Models

Abstract

In addition to the reduction of charging times, the optimization of the charging process and its integration into the primary vehicle use is a central approach to minimize the loss of comfort for the user. In a first step, design-critical vehicle users were identified and modelled in typical user scenarios. Then, on this basis and taking into account an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of fast-charging technology currently available on the market, the requirements definition for the development of a system for "user-friendly support in the planning of a transport task for EVs" is carried out. The focus will be on the development of a multi input device operating system that is based on a different degree of connec-tivity and automation depending on the different user types. The focus of the evaluation lies in the discussion of the correlation between the degree of connec-tivity and automation and the user types. Systematically derived operating con-cepts are evaluated in the context of subject studies.
