Bosch thinks a "fascinating" user interface will develop more enthusiasm for electric vehicles. Exploratory ideas include:

...the hunch mode (hunches about things that might interest Birgit as she drives), the energy flow display, the next mile guide, and remote monitoring and control.

The ideas in Birgit's electric car are the work of the Bosch user experience team. In four project phases – and using a new approach to development – the team members gain a number of insights into the possible design of a future human-machine interface (HMI) for electric vehicles. These insights are then applied to a prototype, and members of the public are asked what they think of the concepts that have been developed.

One wonders if the engineers at Bosch are even considering that "fascinating" probably means "more complicated" and therefore more things can go wrong.
