Vision
Since recently batteries and electricity form a better way of fueling your car, the problem is there are not enough infrastructure to charge your battery and batteries create high initial cost. Technological, economical and political developments make it even more attractive in the future. We believe that by supplying a charging service for electric vehicles (EV) on most of the parking spots, and taking away the high initial cost for consumers, electric driving will be the dominant way of transport by 2020.
Strategy
Between 1.9.08 and 31.10.08 the JUiCE! group worked out a strategy to achieve the vision. This phase ended with a "Dragon's Den" type presentation at Natuur&Milieu and a report. The Report is available as a download.
Design
At the beginning of the second quarter (10.11.08 until 30.1.09) The Design phase began. At first every group member made individual idea sketches and concept designs. From these ideas a final concept was chosen.
Concept
This concept is chosen by JUiCE! as the concept we want to continue work on. Now it is time to develop the concept in such a way that it meets the criteria we set in the List of Requirements
