PLUGO DESIGN CENTER

Selecting a charger is selecting a future landscape.

It is used to be called a gas station.
Let’s create such a future in which people and automobiles will coexist.

Tips for design always exist in the environment.

Charging spots, if becoming electricity storage spots,
will become disaster-prevention bases in the future.

Let’s have E-Mobility, a landscape which is desirable for environmental consideration.

A sustainable future means a future that we want to sustain.

Let’s create a future we want to sustain.

Rapid charger to harmonize with people and cities

Urban dwellers great concern; lack of EV charging spot.
Research※ shows above 40% of EV user living in apartment complex cannot find place to charge at their residence due to the limited number of home-charging spots

PLUGO RAPID is developed as a solution for such social issue and our statement of harmonization with surrounding environment.

To keep the good balance of rapid charging and low-visual noise of industrial hardware.
To achieve seamless user experience through our own reservation service by PLUGO app.
Rapid charger has state-of-art design which balances UX and harmony with landscape.

Minimizing noise as harmonizing with nature

Goal of PLUGO RAPID design is “to minimize visual noise and envelop charger with organic character”
When we look at Rapid charger at high-way station, we always find mechanical-looking box with complicated instruction stickers on it. It might be necessary to display how to use especially for users who is not used to EV charger. Although its inorganic appearance caused from discord of size and color, we can hardly say harmonized with landscape.

We concentrate all the necessary information in our reservation app “My PLUGO” while taking away such visual noise as much as possible from hardware. The hardware is tailored with wooden exterior. Its modest appearance creates natural atmosphere which stays with people and landscape.

RESERVED

Visualize relief of reservation

LED light on the top of charger visualizes reservation status at first glance. Of course, reservation service is available by “My PLUGO” app.
The visual information of reservation status serves relief to both of driver and facility owner.

For the drivers, it is hard to find the vacancy spot without reservation service, especially when they visit urban destination such as shopping malls, due to many users who wants to stop by and charge. So, reservation service can provide relief for such users by promising available spot. For facility owners, reservation service can increase customer engagement by providing additional value to users.
PLUGO charger aims at achieving customer satisfaction not as charging hardware but as charging service. LED light symbolizes such purpose of PLUGO.

Potential solution against Lack of EV charging spot for urban dwellers.

Reservation service for rapid charger has great potential. It can create new daily-routine where drivers can complete charging while they enjoy staying in facilities such as mall or movie theatre.
EV driver no longer needs to be worried about finding available charging spot. As My PLUGO app can secure the charging spot where you stop by on daily basis, people can hold EV even if there is no home charger at their residential complex. PLUGO RAPID aim at changing the shape of EV life-style by designing the urban environment so that driver can secure their own charging spot without any concern.
