    Problem - Statement

    "Most EV chargers in the market are engineered as utilities, not products—bulky metal boxes, exposed cables, and poor visual integration with modern architecture. These chargers often compromise safety, usability, and brand perception, especially in premium residential and commercial environments where aesthetics matter as much as performance."

    Ideate

    Minimal. Precise. Architectural.

    ChargeGrid uses a clean, compact form with soft radii and subtle light accents to reduce visual noise while conveying a refined, high-tech character. The restrained geometry allows it to blend seamlessly into modern spaces without losing its identity.

    Designed for Performance & Reliability

    The charger architecture was re-engineered from the inside out, reorganizing power electronics, structural ribs, and mounting points to improve load distribution and durability.

    Weather-resistant materials, controlled airflow paths, and reinforced connector interfaces ensure consistent performance in outdoor conditions. The integrated cable management system minimizes strain on connectors, extending operational life and reducing maintenance requirements.

    Impact

    ChargeGrid replaces the traditional sheet-metal enclosure with a compact, injection-moulded housing, reducing visual bulk improving perceived product quality significantly. Internal reconfiguration optimizes component layout, enabling better thermal management, cleaner cable routing, and faster installation time. The result is a charger that aligns with premium EV ecosystems while enhancing trust, usability, and long-term adoption in outdoor settings.

    ~30%

    reduction in visual bulk through a compact, injection-moulded enclosure

    20–25%

    faster installation due to simplified mounting and internal layout

    ~15–20%

    improvement in thermal efficiency through optimized airflow paths and component spacing

    ~20%

    increase in perceived product value, supporting adoption in premium residential and commercial EV spaces

    With Gatik, the focus was on making a pedestal fan that feels appropriate for contemporary homes. The design helped us move away from a purely functional look and offer something more refined, approachable, and visually balanced—without changing the core mechanics.
