EVLink, borne de recharge domestique pour véhicule électrique

Instructions for use
Evlink is a home recharge terminal intended for private garages. The terminal starts up, communicates and lights up slowly by means of pulsing LEDs during the charge process. The user interface is designed to be simple and intuitive, gradually indicating the charge time and the various phases ("off", "charging" and "charged"), thus avoiding the need to check battery status on the vehicle dashboard.

Background
This project is the fruit of close collaboration between Lab Schneider Electric and the Eliumstudio agency. The major challenge faced was to give concrete expression to Schneider Electric's vision of the relationship between the user and their vehicle together with related practices.

For the form
The white lacquered finish and streamlined form of Evlink make it stand out as a home appliance which uses "soft" and clean technology.
