Abstract

This study aims to elicit individuals’ perceived quality of use for the battery swap station (BSS). An experiment was conducted with a sample of 92 participants who had experienced a battery swapping service, operation procedure, and filled out a usability evaluation questionnaire for eliciting their agreement of learnability, efficiency, memorability, errors, and satisfaction. The results showed that the average operation time was approximately 2.32 min. 33 errors had been made by the 92 participants. Also, most of participants agreed with the quality of use for the proposed BSS, especially for the learnability, efficiency, and satisfaction. However, memorability and errors were important issues to be improved for the proposed BSS and should be investigated further.
