Schedule of the week
At the end of the week 6, we were asked to hold a presentation about the current state of the project. We decided to present the content as we would have been asking more funding to develop our prototype from the R&D managers. Thus, much of the week dealt with making and practicing the presentation. We divided different topics at the beginning of the week to be worked with individually.
Before our meeting on Thursday Tuomo, a member of the course staff, called our project manager Matias and gave some usufull advices considering our working structure and the whole project. He suggested us to especially concentrate on the cohesion of the text. For example he mentioned that in the different part of text we used different kinds of terms and words to describe the same thing. Since we are forced to make much of the work on our own, it is an issue we really have to consider. He also suggested Skype meetings and gave other usefull advises.
As been said, we met on Thursday and Friday morning to practice the presention. All together, it went quite well. We told the audience how we have achieved some good results. Our concept is proven to work and it has great business potential. Furthermore there are no direct competitors in Finland whereas in Sweden elbnb, a company with more or less the same concept, has been succesfull. We also told how we have moved on to the field work to figure out the necessary customer needs before building the prototype.
One problem that occurred during the investigation of customer requirements is the huge difference in techniques and plugs that are used in EV:s.

State of the fieldwork
Considering the actual fieldwork, at the moment we have have four groups to be interviewed:
1) Potential EV owners
2) Current EV and charging plug owners
3) Companies such as Elbnb and Virta
4) Car manufacturers
We have sent e-mails to for example elbnb and car manufacturers. We have been making a questionnaire to potential and current owners of EV and charging stations and searched actively targeted consumers plus actually found some. We also have one contact from Virta. Thus, the state of the fieldwork is all right and we hope to see results on next week before starting to make to prototype based on them.
Here is a link to our questionnaire:

Value proposition canvases
We have been working around value proposition canvas during last couple of weeks. I thought it might be a good idea to provide a link to it here. Furthermore, we have also included our recent business model canvas to the same document.
The canvases are available in:
