With the rapid development of electric vehicle technology, traditional design methods are facing challenges in efficiency and innovation. As cutting-edge digital tools, VR and HCI technologies are gradually being applied to the design process of electric vehicles, bringing new design concepts and practices to the industry. This paper explores the innovative application of virtual reality and human-computer interaction technologies in electric vehicle design, and analyzes how these technologies can improve design efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize user experience in aspects such as vehicle appearance and structural design, cockpit layout, and driving experience evaluation. In addition, this paper also discusses the challenges faced by these technologies, such as technology integration, user acceptance, and data security, and predicts future technological development trends. Through case analysis, this paper shows the successful application of virtual reality and human-computer interaction technologies by companies such as Tesla, Weilai, and BMW, and points out the driving role of these technologies in electric vehicle design and future development prospects.
