Charging types
The solutions have been developed for different types of charging: normal AC charging (alternating current); fast DC charging (direct current); ultra-fast DC charging (ultra-fast charging).
To create a visual brand language for Magnum Cap that could be applied across the board to its range of electric vehicle chargers, with different power and segments, solutions were developed for the domestic, commercial and public sectors.

Visually, it was decided to work with primitive shapes with angular details, keeping them simple and elegant. Using neutral and contrasting colours means that it maintains an elegant language that can be adapted to the environment in which it is integrated, and can be easily customised by energy retailers. All the equipment’s lighting has been designed to signal the state of use and communicate simply and clearly with the user. To integrate software and hardware, the interfaces, iconography and signage to be implemented on all the equipment were also developed.
Magnum Cap’s new equipment is designed to meet the demands of the diversity of electric mobility. For this reason, their structure and chassis have been developed as modular systems that allow for different compositions, power outputs and charging types. In this way, the chargers can adapt to the needs of each market and be updated as required.
The construction of the equipment is based on a cage structure that allows the four sides of the equipment to be kept open, which facilitates all electrical and electronic assembly inside the equipment by more than one person at the same time. All the side panels, doors and top are fixed to the cage structure. This type of construction makes it quicker to replace the panels in the event of equipment damage.
The white light on the front of the unit indicates that the unit is functional. The lights at the top of each socket vary in colour according to the status of the socket: green indicates a connected socket, blue indicates a socket in use and red indicates a faulty socket.
The arrangement of the interface elements has been designed to make it easier for users to read and interact. The neutral, contrasting colours make it easier to read in outdoor spaces, where the equipment is usually installed. The iconography that identifies the type of charging was also created, thus creating visual and graphic uniformity with the interfaces.
A concept that allows for several applications, boosting more diverse electric mobility.
