Vesper DC Wallbox is a compact, 40 kW DC fast-charging wallbox developed for residential (such as multi-family housing) and public environments including offices, hotels, shopping centres, and university campuses. With its ability to deliver high-speed charging in a small footprint, Vesper is designed to make electric vehicle use more practical and attractive for a broad range of users.

One of Vesper’s standout features is its thoughtful and iconic design. The device combines a robust metal casing with a 7” user interface screen, a vertically placed multi-colored LED status indicator, and an asymmetrical acrylic front panel. This acrylic component not only gives the product a distinctive and elegant visual identity but also enables a high level of customization. A wide range of backpaint, color, pattern, logo, and branding applications can be applied to match different architectural settings, corporate identities, or personal preferences.

Despite housing powerful hardware necessary for fast charging, Vesper maintains a compact and refined profile. The design strategically breaks up the visual mass using the acrylic component, making the product appear lighter and more modern. This layered metal-and-acrylic structure also creates the illusion of a changing form—appearing square or rectangular depending on colour combinations and viewing angle—further enhancing its adaptability.

Functionality goes hand in hand with aesthetics. The user interface is built with both physical and perceptual ergonomics in mind. The wide-screen display offers clear and intuitive navigation, while the vertical LED status bar provides immediate visual feedback using color-coded signals—white, green, blue, and red—for different charging states. These features ensure that Vesper communicates effectively with users, reducing cognitive load and making the charging experience smoother.

Accessibility is also a key consideration. The product's installation guidelines include mounting options suitable for disabled users, and internal component placement supports ergonomic use for all user profiles. It is designed for both wall-mounted and standalone applications, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into diverse environments.

Vesper also contributes meaningfully to environmental sustainability. By enabling fast and efficient home charging, it helps accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and reduce reliance on internal combustion engines, thereby supporting lower greenhouse gas emissions. The product is manufactured with recyclable, long-lasting materials using advanced production techniques to maximise durability and minimise environmental impact.

Perhaps most importantly, Vesper makes the transition to e-mobility more accessible and appealing. It replaces slower AC chargers without the need for drastic infrastructure changes, offering a faster, smarter alternative in a form factor that blends into modern living and working spaces.

Whether installed at home, in a workplace, or a public venue, Vesper brings together speed, customisation, and design excellence in a single solution. Its modular aesthetic, strong communication features, and environmentally responsible engineering make it one of the most advanced and user-friendly DC wall boxes on the market.

Vesper doesn’t just charge — It communicates, adapts, and inspires the shift to e-mobility.
