I had to intensively research on electric scooter and charging station such as the safety features and circuits in a charging station, designs of both electric scooter and charging station and the list goes on. Not only that, I was also responsible for coming up with different designs of electric scooters and its charging station in CAD Drawing using Creo 5.0. I had to make precise calculations of the dimensions of the charging station while considering many factors such as the dimensions of the electric scooter, safety features, locking mechanism and electrical circuits.
