In a remarkable achievement, EVB, a leading provider of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, has announced that its ultra-sleek dual-gun DC charger, the BUDC, has been awarded both the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 and the Red Dot Award for Product Design 2026. This recognition is a testament to the synergy between industrial design, technical specifications, and the practical utility of the product.
The BUDC boasts a total output power of 150 kW and an impressively thin profile of around 100 mm, addressing one of the core challenges faced by European investments in rapid DC charging solutions: the installation of high-power equipment in limited spaces. The flat design facilitates wall and recess mounting in various environments such as streets, parking lots, and bus depots, making it an ideal choice for urban infrastructure.
What sets the BUDC apart is its capability to support two CCS2 connectors. Each connector can deliver up to 150 kW, and the smart power distribution feature enables the simultaneous charging of two vehicles without compromising efficiency. Furthermore, the exterior housing is rated IP65, ensuring that it remains protected from the elements during outdoor installations.
The innovative liquid cooling system and interchangeable AC, DC, and control modules simplify maintenance, thereby enhancing the reliability of the unit. Jundan Wang, the General Manager of EVB, highlighted the significance of these awards, stating, "Receiving the iF DESIGN AWARD and the Red Dot Award proves that charging infrastructure can deliver high efficiency without disrupting the space in which it is installed. The BUDC was designed with charging point operators and fleet customers in mind, allowing them to maximize limited space while providing reliable and intuitive charging solutions."
EVB’s DC charging solutions are part of a broader offering that includes AC chargers ranging from 3.7 kW to megawatt-level systems of up to 2000 kW. Their European portfolio showcases CE marked models and TÜV certified configurations, ensuring compliance and reliability. The chargers also support OCPP 1.6J/2.0.1 and ISO 15118 Plug & Charge standards, providing flexibility for various installation needs.
Depending on the selected model and project configuration, EVB can also offer MID-compliant metering, credit/debit card payments, and contactless payment options for European charging point operators (CPOs) and public charging networks.
Founded in 2011 under the BENY New Energy umbrella, EVB has cemented its position in the electric vehicle charging industry. With its manufacturing base in China and an operational office in Germany, the company can efficiently handle partners and projects across various European regions, from Eastern and Southeastern Europe to the West and South.
