Electric vehicle charging station
WINNER iF DESIGN AWARD 2024
WINNER iF DESIGN AWARD 2024
The Kvitter EV charger was designed especially for urban environment, offering a charging solution that combines emotional connection with customized features.
This charger not only provides a superior charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in residential areas, but it also includes cutting-edge technology at its core. The Kvitter charger reduces energy loss and increases efficiency by optimizing energy usage through adjustable charging speeds dependent on the needs of the vehicle. With a maximum power output of 22 kW, it is a high-quality charging system that is compatible with a wide range of electric car models.

Furthermore, the Kvitter charger surpasses traditional chargers by having an interactive and empathetic AI interface. The AI interface uses algorithms and machine learning techniques to analyze various charge metrics and select the best emoticon to display. It may also consider external aspects such as weather or the availability of charging stations in order to provide more contextually relevant emotions.

INTERACTION with other charges
Charging stations can communicate with one another. When one station is charging an electric car and the other is free, they begin to experience emotions towards each other. For instance, one charging station begins to feel unhappy or jealous, but another begins to smile insidiously or sympathize with the next station.
The backlight color changes accordingly to the mode. Waiting - white, charging - blue, and broken- red.
The charging station's backlight is constantly on. When the motion sensor (user approaching) is triggered, the button panel and emotional display activate.

EMOTIONS
INSIDIOUS - The charging station expresses this feeling, for example, when it recognizes that an electric car has arrived and is now connected to it rather than another charging station.
SAD - It may be sad if, for some reason, the user was unable to connect to charging or if no one charged for an extended period of time.
IN LOVE - Hearts can be displayed at a nearby station or to a user who has connected his electric car to it.
