Portable 2-in-1 Wall Charger Recognized for Sustainable Design Form and Function as it Enables Users to Recharge their Electric Vehicle Anywhere
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Juice Americas Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Swiss-based Juice Technology AG – the market leader in portable chargers for electric vehicles, today announced that its J+ BOOSTER 2 has received a 2022 Green Good Design® award, in the Green Product category, from the European Center for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. The award, in its 14th year, identifies and emphasizes the world’s most important examples of sustainable and ecological design.
The J+ BOOSTER 2 portable 2-in-1 wall charger enables EV owners to take their charger on the road to charge their EV from any conventional power socket outlet. As a charging station, the J+ BOOSTER 2 is exposed to a wide variety of environmental influences and charging situations. The design must therefore not only look good but also be correspondingly functional. Thanks to the cylindrical housing, for example, emerging pressure is evenly distributed, which in turn makes the device safe to drive over with a wheel load of up to three tons. The unique design provides automatic power detection, always adjusting automatically to the optimum charging power, and ruling out any risk of overloading the power socket capacity.
“Architects and designers in the automotive industry put a lot of thought into how objects should look so they are not only practical but also offer appealing aesthetics,” said Michael Boehm, General Manager, Juice Americas. “At Juice Americas, we don’t think the aesthetic design should stop there. As a 2-in-1 charging station, J+ BOOSTER 2 combines both form and function for a wall and portable charger that has a pleasing design as well as exceptional capability while enabling sustainable use, anywhere users want to travel. We are honored to have the J+ BOOSTER 2 design recognized by the Green Good Design program.”
The original Good Design program, founded in Chicago in 1950, remains the oldest and most important design awards program worldwide. For the 2022 program, the Green Good Design awards program received hundreds of submissions from around the world. Members of the European Center’s International Advisory Committee—worldwide leaders in the design industry— served as the jury and selected over 160 new products, programs, people, environmental planning, and architecture as outstanding examples of Green Design from 30 nations.
