HMI Concepts on the Market Nissan Company 2.2 Nissan Company The next EV I had an opportunity to drive is from the Nissan company. Nissan’s popularity made it an obvious choice. The top-selling EV in the world is the Nissan LEAF, which has sold over 250,000 units since it was first introduced in 2010 [Paquet, 2017]. This EV has a smaller driving range and it is much cheaper than the car from Tesla. It is also built from the ground as an EV. The driving range is up to 250 km, and nowadays this car is suitable for daily use as well. This vehicle has the HMI much simpler than in Tesla, and the maps are not based on Google Maps. You can see your current location with driving range displayed as a radius on the map. There are actually two circles. The bigger one is for eco-drive mode and the smaller one is for the normal drive mode. You can select what kind of driving style you prefer with regard to the range. I got information (according to salesman) that the real driving range is about 160 km. It depends of course on many factors. The radius shown on the map is not accurate enough because it is only straight line distance from current location and there is no information about the real road. There is a possibility to plan a route in this car, but unfortunately, there is no information about real-time traffic conditions and the map data can be outdated as well. That is not the biggest disadvantage of this car’s route planner. I was surprised how this planner works. The map included several charging stations but only for the Czech Republic (this was caused because it was a brand new demonstration car as told salesman). If you select your destination it turns on navigation, but only if your driving range is too low does it navigate you to the nearest charging station. There is no information about how much time you need to spend at the charging station, and also there is no summary information about the road, including charging stations and time spent on charging. So if you plan a long trip you can get into trouble. 2.3 Other Car’s Producers and Conclusion I had deliberately chosen two different EVs and researched their HMIs. Other vehicle manufacturers are providing more or fewer features as mentioned above. All major vehicle manufacturers nowadays invest a lot of money in the development of EVs. It is still a small market in comparison to conventional vehicles, but the vehicle manufacturers realize that EVs are definitely the future in the automotive industry. I looked for other vehicle manufacturers HMIs information available on the internet and it is more or less similar to mentioned features. 5PDF Image | Driving Range Estimation and Trajectory Planning
