Reading about the clutter of the dash panel in this sub-index made me comment that it was too complex for what is fundamentally simple form of transportation, and a though of "What would the late Steve Jobs design?"
Internal Combustion cars need a starter motor to get the engine running so one can drive.
IC's also need periodic maintenance involving changing oil and plugs, emission inspection, and a few related items.
Some IC cars have a NFR, or Fob, to let you know you are in car, so the key was replaced by Start button.
Weeeell
EV's do not need a starter motor, so why have a Start button??
I have the key fob, get in car, move the Shift Puck to Drive, and off I go.
Yes, the Shift Puck is THE "Start" button.
(Or use the "P" button inside of it as the start/stop button.)
Steve Jobs changed everything with the iPhone. It is an incredibly easy device to use, yet infinitely more powerful then a basic cell phone. The same can be done with the EV, if only you think outside the gas guzzling box.
(PS, don't own an EV, yet. Test drove Leaf twice. My other half (wife) not convinced about it, yet.)
