Urban Type E-pit is a charging station for electric vehicles in city centres and residential areas that provides a fast power supply. Its design is inspired by pit crews that supply professional drivers on Formula One racetracks, conveying its core competence. The objects are equipped with self-adjusting cables that extend when the user unplugs them from the charging station. After use, they automatically roll up. “With its streamlined, compact form, the charging station fits seamlessly into urban environments,” the jury said, explaining its choice.
