An app developed at Berkeley Lab to help car consumers evaluate green vehicle choices based on individual driving styles and routes was the focus of a June 20 article in Popular Science titled “Which Electric Car is Right for You?” Researcher Sam Saxena expects the app to be in potential car buyers’ hands in 2017, thanks to a partnership with the EPA and DOE. Last year, Saxena and Energy Technology Area teammates Nihar Shar and Dana Hansen advanced ideas for distributing the app through DOE’s Lab-Corps program for customer discovery. A six-part video series captured the team’s Lab-Corps experience and outcomes.
