technology, design, infrastructure, and cost-effectiveness, is necessary for the idea creation of
electrical vehicles.

Analyzing the needs and preferences of the target market, which includes individual
consumers, fleet operators, and public transit providers, is the first step in the idea
development process for electrical vehicles. This entails carrying out market research,
comprehending the current infrastructure, and recognizing the market's obstacles and
potential.

The next stage is to investigate the technology possibilities for the creation of electrical
automobiles. This involves assessing the functionality, efficacy, and cost-efficiency of
various battery, motor, and charging system types. To improve the performance and user
experience of electrical vehicles, it is also possible to investigate the use of connectivity,
autonomous driving, and artificial intelligence technology.

The third phase is to ensure safety and regulatory compliance while also appealing to the
target market when designing the electrical vehicle. In order to do this, a sleek, contemporary
design that incorporates cutting-edge technology and maximizes the vehicle's efficiency must
be created. A sustainable production method and the usage of eco-friendly materials should
also be taken into account in the design.

Finally, cooperation with a variety of stakeholders, such as manufacturers, suppliers, and

infrastructure providers, is necessary for the implementation of the electrical vehicle. This
entails creating a thorough plan for the manufacture, sale, and upkeep of electrical vehicles
while also making sure they are affordable and easily accessible.

In conclusion, developing ideas for electrical vehicles necessitates a multidisciplinary

approach that takes the development process's infrastructure, design, technology, and
economic factors into account. To address the changing needs of the market and mitigate the
potential negative effects of the adoption of electrical vehicles on the environment and
society, it is essential to find creative and sustainable solutions.

Strategy for marketing:

a) Identify the Problem/Challenge:

1. Limited Consumer Awareness: Despite the popularity of electric vehicles growing,

people are still unaware of the advantages and characteristics of EVs. Potential clients
can be educated and made aware through the use of digital marketing.

2. Lack of Charging Infrastructure: The scarcity of charging stations is another barrier to

the widespread adoption of EVs. Long road journeys are challenging for consumers
since, despite the fact that the number of charging stations is increasing, they are still
not as accessible as petrol stations.

3. Time to Charge: Even when there are charging stations available, it can be difficult to
find the time it takes to charge an EV. While some EVs can be fully charged in just a
few hours, others can take several hours to reach 80% of their capacity.

4. High Cost: Some users may find electric vehicles to be prohibitively pricey compared
to conventional gas-powered cars. Even though owning an EV saves money in the
long run, many people may find it difficult to afford the upfront costs.

5. Battery Life: Since EV batteries can deteriorate over time and need to be changed,
this presents another difficulty. Although EV batteries are becoming less expensive,
they are still a significant expense.

6. Limited Range: One of the major obstacles to the widespread use of electric vehicles
is their short range. Consumers that must travel long distances may find the typical
EV's range of 200–300 miles on a single charge to be an issue.

b) Idea generation techniques :

1. Mind Mapping: Making a visual diagram is part of the mind mapping approach,
which is used to develop and arrange thoughts. Start with the main concept in this
example, electric vehicles and then explore associated subjects like the infrastructure
for charging, battery technology, and consumer education.

2. SWOT Analysis: SWOT analysis is a strategy that entails examining the

opportunities, threats, weaknesses, and strengths associated with a given issue.
 Determine the market's potential and dangers, as well as the advantages and
disadvantages of electric vehicles.

3. Brainstorming: This is a classic technique that involves generating ideas in a group

setting. Start by setting a time limit and encouraging participants to share as many
ideas as possible. No idea is too small or too big.

4. Analogies: This strategy entails seeking inspiration from other markets or goods.
Consider other markets or products, such renewable energy or smart home
technologies that have encountered difficulties with EV adoption and come up with
ideas for how to adapt those solutions to the market for electric vehicles.

5. Customer Feedback: client feedback is gathered using this method in order to

determine the needs and pain areas of the client. Use focus groups, surveys, or social
media listening techniques to learn more about EV owners and potential customers,
then use that information to inspire new ideas for goods and services.

6. Scampers: This method involves using several ways of thinking to develop new ideas
from preexisting ones. Substitute, combine, adapt, modify, put to another use,
eliminate, and reverse are all letters in the acronym SCAMPER. For instance, you
could use "combine" to construct a self-driving electric vehicle by fusing EV
technology with autonomous driving technology.

Problem solutions:

1. Identify the problem: Determine the root cause of the problem by observing the
electric vehicles and asking users for feedback. This will help you understand what
needs to be fixed or improved. Limited range, expensive costs, a lack of charging
infrastructure, lengthy charging times, battery life, and user awareness are typical
issues. To learn more about the difficulties facing electric vehicles, read industry
papers, news articles, and market trends.

2. Analyze the Issue: After you've located the issue, it's critical to thoroughly analyses it.
This entails comprehending the underlying causes of the issue as well as how it
affects various stakeholders, including automakers, customers, and governments. It
can be necessary to undertake surveys, interviews, or focus groups to acquire
information from various viewpoints.

3. Create Potential Solutions: You can begin to create potential solutions to the issue
based on your study. To find potential solutions, generate ideas, study the market, and
speak with specialists. Seek out original and cutting-edge solutions that deal with the
problem's underlying causes and provide long-term advantages.

4. Evaluated Solutions: Solutions should be evaluated based on their viability, efficacy,

and impact once you have generated prospective solutions. When assessing potential
solutions, take into account aspects like cost, implementation time, scalability, and
stakeholder support.

5. Define the scope: Determine the scope of the problem and assess its impact on users,
operations, and costs. This will help you prioritize the problem and allocate resources
 accordingly.

6. Implement Solutions: Now that the best solutions have been chosen, it is time to put
them into practice. Develop a plan for implementation with stakeholders, decide on
