EV Charging Station

Overview

Many EV Chargers have a very limited user interface (with a basic display or no display at all) which can impair the usability of the product. Incorporating a colour touch-enabled graphical interface into an Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station allows a much more intuitive user experience. The touch interface allows the user to interact with the system and offers many advantages compared to mechanical buttons. 

Here are just some of the benefits of adding an EVE-enabled touch display:

• Incorporate an attractive and intuitive touch interface into EV charger designs easily
• Improve the customer/user perception of the EV charger brand
• Update the product with minimal changes to other parts of the charger design
• Show a range of parameters such as cost and charging status making the charger more user-friendly
• Use audio tones to further enhance the user experience, for example, touch acknowledgements and alerts
