After winning the 2019 iF Design Award and CES Innovation Award, EVBox proves again how important design is for EV charging stations.
Amsterdam, April 4th, 2019 – EVBox, one of the leading global manufacturers of electric vehicle charging stations and charging software, and creative design agency VanBerlo are proud to announce that EVBox Iqon, EVBox’s newest charging station, has won the renowned Red Dot Award for outstanding product design. Earlier this year, EVBox Iqon charging station won both the iF Design Award and CES Innovation Award, and is now adding the Red Dot Award to its list of achievements. The news was first announced two weeks ago at mobility conference rEVolution 2019 in Amsterdam.
EVBox Iqon charging station was built and designed to make EV charging accessible to all users. Features designed with drivers’ comfort in mind include the auto-retractable dual cable management system, the intuitive touchscreen and HMI design, and the compliance to ADA (wheelchair accessible). With its contemporary yet simple design, Iqon easily blends into the environment while enduring extreme weather conditions ranging from -30 to +60 degrees Celsius. Thanks to its unique modular lay-out, the Iqon charging station is also extremely easy to install, commission and service.
The EVBox Iqon charging station will be commercially available across Europe and North America by second half of 2019.
We couldn’t be more excited about winning the Red Dot Award. At EVBox we dedicate a lot of resources into our product DNA and design to give our customers the best possible charging experience possible. To not only win the CES Innovation Award, iF Design Award, but also the very prestigious Red Dot Award confirms that we are on the right path. I’m especially proud of our product team and of our design partner VanBerlo for this great success. You can expect more awards to follow...!Kristof Vereenooghe, CEO at EVBox
