The E-Gap Electric Charging Station, designed by Pininfarina, also known as E-Gap Fast, supports both fast charging (up to 120 kW, or split between two vehicles at 60 kW each) and slower charging (with the capacity to manage up to five 22 kW columns) allowing it to meet varied energy needs while optimizing power distribution based on demand.
Pininfarina collaborated in the design of E-Gap starting from the definition of the user experience, then working on the product design and finally defining the user interface.
For promoting sustainable technology and enabling practical EV charging even in remote or underserved areas, the E-gap Electric Charging Station has been awarded a 2024 Green Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
The user experience was imagined in off-grid contexts allowing the charging connections equipped with a bright interface that aims to communicate intuitively the charging status of the vehicle.
The length of the charging cable has been maximized, to facilitate its use.
The rear side of the E-gap Fast is equipped with large LED screens, which can be used both for interaction with the user and for projection of images and videos.
E-gap Fast is dedicated to all those who need to enable their market to use electricity and to those who, for technical reasons, timing and opportunities need to use off-charging solution grid, with high performance and totally integrated even where the available power of electricity grid does not allow installation of fast and even super-fast columns.
This charging solution integrates into a unique E-Gap service platform that also allows you to take advantage of the services offered by vans, called E-Gap Fast Delivery, and from E-Gap Trolley, a portable charging system with integrated battery capable of providing a range of about 25 km in 30 minutes.
