The JUICE CHARGER me is awarded the Green GOOD DESIGN Award by the Chicago Athenaeum and the European Centre
Juice Technology AG, manufacturer of charging stations and software, and leader in mobile charging stations for electric vehicles, has received an award for particularly sustainable design for the JUICE CHARGER me from the European Center for Architecture, Art, Design and Urbanism and the Chicago Athenaeum, Museum of Architecture and Design.
The JUICE CHARGER me sets new standards in terms of future-proof product design. This has now been confirmed for the fixed charging station by leading representatives of the design industry worldwide. The exterior of the wallbox is characterized by a simple, square shape. Whether mounted on the wall or on a stele, the device looks both unpretentious and elegant in public or semi-private areas.
The housing combines high-quality workmanship with high mechanical strength and light resistance, making the device suitable for use indoors and outdoors. Christoph Erni, CEO and founder of Juice Technology AG, emphasizes that there is much more to the design of charging technology than just the look: "What is commonly associated with green design is a resource-saving construction and good recyclability of a product. But durable design also means that the product has all the functions that are useful and necessary - and not all that are possible. A charging station must be easy and intuitive to use so that you enjoy using it - over and over again."
For Juice, however, sustainability also means the future viability of the hardware components through the possibility of continuous software updates. Universal interfaces and standardized communication protocols for seamless connection to the backend, local energy management systems and the high ability to integrate into larger networks are essential.
It is precisely this holistic approach that allows Juice to be recognized as one of the world's most important manufacturers and design firms, as well as leading FORTUNE 500 companies, that are placing a new emphasis on sustainable design and the environment worldwide.
An award program for the green future
This year marks the 14th anniversary of the Green GOOD DESIGN® award. This specialised award goes back to the GOOD DESIGN programme, which was launched in 1950 by the illustrious representatives of industrial design and architecture Eero Saarinen and Charles and Ray Eames and is still considered the oldest and most important award programme in the world.
The prize is awarded by a partnership of two institutions in Europe and America, the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies and the Chicago Athenaeum, Museum of Architecture and Design.
GREEN GOOD DESIGN™ recognises design innovations and pioneering achievements that promote energy saving, recycling and greater sustainability in all sectors of industry. It aims to influence consumption habits and establish a new design thinking, partly based on the ideals of decreasing dependence on fossil fuels.
JUICE CHARGER me
The wallbox is completely preconfigured at the factory and ready for immediate use (plug and play). When connected to the charging socket, the charging station automatically recognizes any car that already has the plug-and-charge standard according to ISO 15118 and starts charging immediately. An RFID reader is integrated for all vehicles that do not yet support ISO 15118. Local dynamic charging management in master-slave mode is on board for up to 250 charging stations. A version with an MID-certified meter is available for operation with charging/load management.

About Juice Technology
Juice Technology AG, headquartered in Bachenbülach (near Zurich Airport, Switzerland), is a global manufacturer of charging solutions for electric vehicles. The company's extensive product portfolio of AC and DC charging stations, from light mobile devices to large fast chargers, makes it one of the very few full-range suppliers in the industry. Juice has dominated the global market for mobile 22 kW charging stations since 2014.
The decisive difference to other solutions available on the market is the consistent software orientation. All devices marked with "j+" are based on the same processor and the same firmware, which means they are compatible with each other. By using a single, consistent software architecture, Juice saves a lot of time, effort and money. Solutions such as omnidynamic load management, credit card payment or the interface-open backend are therefore available for the entire product range.
The Juice Group has a global presence with its own locations, subsidiaries and partner companies. The group includes Juice Services AG, Juice Telemetrics AG, the German Juice Europe GmbH with a branch in Munich, Juice Nordics AB in Uppsala, Juice Iberia SL in Malaga, Juice France SAS in Paris, Zhejiang Juice Technology Co., Ltd in Hangzhou, China and Juice Americas Inc. in Delaware, USA.
