Electric Charging Station Design

30.9.–9.10.2011

Wien Energie is Austria’s largest regional supplier of energy and promotes modern, environmentally sound, and tried-and-tested technologies. Also in the area of energy infrastructure for e-vehicles, they help to create sensible means of electric mobility.

The Department of Architecture and City Planning of the City of Vienna (MA 19) commissioned the design of sustainable, technically easy to realise, and attractive electric charging stations. A panel of experts has unanimously chosen the ‘super-steckdose’ of the GP designpartners firm as the winning project. It will now be presented within the framework of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK. Also to be shown, and compatible with the theme, will be the new ‘Vienna Bike’, by the designer Valentin Vodev. Together the two projects offer a good prospect for new mobility possibilities in Vienna.
