The prototype E.ON Ultra-Fast Charging Station has been designed by the GRAFT Design Studio to offer a more intuitive way to increase electric vehicle charging station infrastructure in a way that is modular and expandable.
The station includes two basic modules that come in small and large size options in order to create XS or S stations, or larger M and L ones that can accommodate up to eight vehicles at a time. The stations could also be extended into a hub for food, shopping, entertainment, spas and more to keep drivers entertained as their vehicle charges up.
The E.ON Ultra-Fast Charging Station imagines the near future of transportation infrastructure and is focused on a modular design to let administrators change the system up according to needs.
