Our prompt for this project was to design an electric car charging system. We were also tasked with taking into account manufacturability, functionality, internal components, and making a full-size physical mock-up. We began by researching and analyzing gas stations. Initially, we proposed a solution that redesigned the entire gas station as a whole; however, we were redirected to focus solely on a system for electric car charging.
After the refocus, we decided to begin our research by visiting sites that featured electric car chargers. We researched competitors to establish how we would differentiate our design solution. We followed by sketching various ideas before finalizing our system and branding. Once we finalized our solution, we made a project plan and divided tasks. I was tasked with manufacturability and functionality, including mounting and installation considerations.
