The Electric Vehicle Rapid-Charge Station (EVSTAT) has been designed to serve the fast-emerging electric vehicle market, with the concept being tested in the US. The station can fully charge an electric vehicle in under 25 minutes using high voltage DC charging. This new building typology would also provide Club-Class relaxation areas that impart essential business services for the early adopters of on-thego lifestyles, together with retail and vehicle rental spaces, refreshments and seamless wireless connectivity.
