Barcelona (Spain) – 18th of May 2022 – Wallbox, a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy management solutions worldwide, has been awarded the IF Design Award for its first public fast charger, Supernova. IF is one of the most prestigious design awards in the world. The jury consisted of 132 members from 20 different countries.
Supernova is the first public charger developed by the company. Following the lines of the other Wallbox products, it has a subtle and minimalist design that integrates it very discreetly into public spaces. At the operational level, the Supernova charger has unprecedented levels of efficiency and operational stability in the market of charging solutions for electric vehicles. This device is composed of 6 modules that work together to provide maximum power while maintaining their operational independence. In addition, this modular and lightweight assembly makes it easy to transport and install and requires very little maintenance.
Supernova has a charging speed of 60kW. In terms of performance, it can provide 100km of range for an electric vehicle in less than 15 minutes, making it the ideal charging solution for both public and semi-public locations (for instance, in a restaurant). It is the first public charger to be launched by Wallbox and completes a portfolio that already includes home and semi-public charging solutions.
“We believe everyone should have access to good design so design has always been a key pillar for our product development while facilitating the transition to zero-emission mobility” stated Eduard Castañeda, Chief Product Officer and co-founder of Wallbox.
This is the second reward received by Supernova, which has also been recognized with the Good Design Award (previously received by Quasar, the first bidirectional charger in the market). Wallbox has already won three of the world’s most prestigious design awards. The first was the Red Dot award for the semi-public Copper charger.
