ZHIDA 'Pioneer' Digital Home Charging Station is a new home EV charger that redefines a user-friendly experience. The Pioneer adopted a plug-in connection method, effectively reducing installation difficulty. The front and back panels are designed with disassembly and replacement, combined with IML injection molding technology to meet users' needs for DIY panels.  

The overall design adopts a minimalist aesthetic design, combined with the application of curved elements, supporting side insertion and hanging gun solutions, making the insertion and removal process more labor-saving. Combined with TPU material charging gun cables, the overall design is thinner and lighter, improving the user experience. Clear functional zoning, combined with a smiling curve loop dynamic light at the bottom to represent various states of the charging station, makes the interaction more intuitive and convenient.
