Hey everyone,
Let me introduce myself, or ourselves, we're a team of MIT, Sloan Business school and Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) students. We're broadly looking at improving the car charging experience as it still appears to us that not enough design thought has been put in to the area.
So really I just wanted to start up a dialogue with you guys. As some of the first owners of the Leaf you're most likely struck by some of its teething problems. So I'm going to start by asking what sort of charging station you have at home? Do you take the 'portable' charger around in the car with you? Have you ever used this outside your own home? And have you ever used a publicly available charging station and what was your experience?
So yeah, anything you can tell us will be helpful. This product area was initially suggested to us by GM but we're under no obligation to limit it to the Volt and we've expanded the concept to be looking in particular at some of the untouched issues of public charge stations. Also as we're in communication with GM about this, don't feel your voice wil get ignored. Some of the good ideas out of this have a good chance of being implemented!
Cheers
Jordan
