EV charging station
Hyundai Motor Group is preparing for a new era of human-centered mobility. Hyundai Design Center has developed the E-PIT ultra-fast charger which greatly improves user experience, by solving six problems typically found in current EV chargers: 1) bulky cables; 2) complicated operation and service use; 3) unclear charging status; 5) hygiene (especially important in the context of a pandemic); and 6) production and maintenance.
