Redefining Range Confidence for Mahindra EV Users

Reducing Range Anxiety for Mahindra Electric Vehicle Users


While the Indian EV market is projected to reach over $110 billion by 2029 , a significant psychological barrier Range Anxiety; remains the "invisible ceiling" for millions of potential owners. In a landscape where infrastructure is still evolving, drivers often feel forced to relegate their EVs to city-only use, fearing they will be stranded during intercity travel

CONTEXT

What does it take for a system to earn trust before the user even needs reassurance?

TOOL FOR THOUGHT

Trust isn’t designed through accuracy alone, but through honest, anticipatory systems. When uncertainty is surfaced clearly and experiences stay continuous across platforms, confidence becomes implicit, not something users have to verify.

Bridging the gap between raw vehicle data and human confidence by transforming the dashboard into an intuitive, cognitive partner

Proactive Co-Pilot for the Modern Driver

I learned how to turn complex contextual data into proactive intelligence that removes uncertainty from EV journeys. More importantly, I realized that trust is built through transparency by revealing what’s hidden rather than visual polish, and that seamless mobile-to-vehicle continuity is critical to a confident driving experience.

Problem Description:

Key Problems Faced:

Mahindra EV users rely on static range numbers that fail to reflect real-world driving conditions. Without predictive intelligence, drivers are forced to manually estimate routes, charging stops, and energy usage leading to uncertainty, stress, and limited EV usage beyond short commutes.


The absence of connected trip insights results in poor decision-making, frequent rerouting, and constant fear of battery depletion during longer journeys.

🚗 Unreliable real-world range predictions
Displayed range does not adapt to traffic, terrain, or driving behavior.


📍 Uncertainty around charging planning
Users struggle to decide when and where to charge during trips.


📉 Lack of trip feasibility insights
No clear indication whether a journey can be completed confidently.


No real-time energy impact feedback
Drivers cannot understand how conditions affect battery consumption.


😟 High cognitive load while driving
Constant monitoring and guesswork increase stress and reduce trust in EVs.

Description:

PROBLEM SPACE

Most EV interfaces present battery data in isolation, without context of terrain, traffic, climate, or driving behavior.
As real-world conditions shift, drivers are left guessing whether their vehicle can realistically complete a trip.

How does today’s EV journey experience break driver confidence?

Range feedback changes without actionable reasoning



Drivers manually compensate by slowing down or turning off comfort features



Charging decisions are reactive instead of planned



System lacks early warnings before critical range thresholds



No learning from past trips to improve predictions

Customer Problems & Gaps

Without contextual intelligence, EV users rely on constant mental calculations rather than system guidance. This increases cognitive load, reduces driving comfort, and turns every long journey into a high-stress experience.

Problem Space:

Problems with the System

Service Problems & Gaps

The current EV journey experience lacks contextual intelligence, causing drivers to rely on guesswork instead of predictive support.
While vehicles generate rich data, it is not translated into meaningful, confidence-building guidance for real-world travel.

This disconnect between vehicle capability and user understanding turns range management into a constant mental burden.

1. Static Range Representation
Displayed range does not adapt clearly to real-time driving conditions.


2. No Cause-and-Effect Visibility
Drivers are not informed how terrain, traffic, AC usage, or speed impact energy loss.


3. Reactive Journey Support
The system responds after range drops instead of anticipating energy risks earlier.


4. Disconnected Charging Intelligence
Charging availability and reliability are not embedded into trip decisions.


5. Lack of Predictive Trip Outcomes
Users cannot see realistic arrival battery levels before starting journeys.


6. No Learning Over Time
Past driving patterns are not used to improve future range accuracy.

Unexplained range shifts create panic rather than informed action


Drivers compensate manually instead of trusting the system


Uncertainty drives conservative behavior and trip avoidance


Confidence depends more on prediction clarity than battery size


Fragmented information increases cognitive load


Trust erodes when real-world outcomes don’t match system estimates

Home Screen: The Predictive Pulse

This project pushed me to think beyond the screen and consider the "Digital Thread" between a driver’s home and their destination. I learned that in the automotive space, my role isn't just to present information, but to translate raw, technical complexity into a calm, confident human experience. By treating the car as a Tool for Thought, I realized that the most impactful design decisions are the ones that happen in the background—silently removing the "mental math" so the driver can simply enjoy the road.

Reflection & Takeaways

  • V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) Synergy: Integrating smart energy management to allow the car to act as a home battery during peak demand, turning the EV into a financial asset.

  • Predictive Maintenance Integration: Using the health alerts already in place to auto-schedule service appointments when battery performance or tire pressure fluctuates.
