Electric Vehicle Charging Gun
Our Project:
In the rapidly evolving automotive industry, electric vehicles (EVs) are fast becoming the norm. With this surge in popularity, there's a rising need for dependable charging solutions that can operate unfailingly in all weather conditions.
​
Responding to this need, our client approached us with an exciting challenge - to design an IP67 rated EV charging gun, a charging solution that ensures robust performance rain or shine.
Our Approach:
Our innovative solution was grounded in a clear principle - minimization of water entry points, essential for achieving the stringent IP67 water resistance rating. Unlike traditional designs that rely on multiple parts held together with screws, we adopted a different approach.
​
We designed the charging gun enclosure as a single, seamless plastic structure. This effectively limited potential water entry points to just the front and rear. These areas were then safeguarded using robust rubber seals, ensuring outstanding ingress protection.
​
The Standard:
Our single-enclosure design isn't just a clever workaround; it's a pioneering step that distinguishes our EV charging gun from the rest in the market.
​
To attest to the robustness of our product, it has been rigorously tested and earned an IP67 rating from TÜV China, an internationally recognized testing and certification organization.
