10 Brand customers Interviews

The Tata Motors project spanned six months, during which we conducted research involving ten users from India, all of whom were brand customers. The client directed us to focus on the product's usability from when users leave their homes until they reach their destinations, covering short and long journeys.

Research Impact

We identified design opportunities by analyzing interview data, looking for recurring patterns across EV drivers and buyers. After carefully re-listening to the sessions, we mapped out their pain points in a structured Excel document. This allowed us to focus on solving the most critical user frustrations and transform them into clear, actionable design directions

Design Opportunity

Clear battery status display and pre-departure reminders


Real-time energy feedback on dashboard


Live charging info and personalized suggestions


Route safety and trip planning influence purchase decisions


Home app integration for charge planning

Define a crossfunctional stakeholder 

The next step was to compare our research findings with Tata’s use cases and some existing ones from Luxoft. To align everyone, we organized a workshop with over 20 Tata Motors team members. Together, we selected 5 final use cases to prototype in low fidelity.

Problems we Aimed to Solve

Reducing range anxiety by showing clear battery status


Helping drivers understand energy use in real time


Making it easier to find and choose the right charging station


Supporting safer and smarter route planning based on charging needs


Encouraging better charging habits at home through app integration


From Insights to Market

Although our team focused on low-fidelity prototypes, a co-creation workshop, and a stakeholder presentation, Tata Motors went on to develop their own product based on our research.
The gallery below shows real product images from Tata's vehicle interfaces, where our insights were implemented. It’s truly encouraging to see your work come to life in the market.
