Abstract
This research is about present status of use for Electrical Vehicle charging and design improvement User Interface, which has an objective for users to be able to find it easy with intuition to handle the buttons, texts, icons, or colors of UI’s charging screen interface of LS Cable & System.
The research has been conducted by the users of EV charging station and carried out a study with qualitative research techniques in order to see any improvements or complementary conditions, which make it easy to figure out the problems of users’ difficulties more deeply. As a result, numerous problems such as activating condition button, defeat of inductive actions, too many options, misuses of text and background colors have been found and ,therefore, could able to catch the requirements that are demanded by users.
Guidelines are suggested for design improvements of EV charging screen interface based on the problems which had been found through this study. Conclusion has been arrived at the point that, in terms of activating buttons, shadow has to be removed for being misrecognized buttons with icons, button colors have to be changed against background colors or chosen with colors of lower brightness.
It is required to adopt animation or actual image icons, categorize the overlapping options –selection systems are recommended – increase visibility using complementary color contrast, employ the colors that make it possible to establish the identity of the EV charging screen interface itself as a whole.
Based on the result of this research, it is desirable to contribute to UI design development of EV charging screen interface making it user-friendly and considering their requirements and convenience.
