Developed with the avant-garde style of the Volkswagen Anhui ID. UNYX 08, this portable EV charging and discharging gun breaks away from the function-first mold of traditional EV charging guns. Centered on a "shared design DNA between the vehicle and the charger" philosophy, it deeply integrates the vehicle's design language with handheld ergonomics, delivering an integrated charging and discharging solution that balances aesthetic quality with reliable performance.
Featuring a unibody construction, this charging and discharging gun incorporates the mainboard internally to achieve a compact footprint. While supporting GB-standard charging and discharging, it presents a sleek, fluid form. Its curved contour precisely echoes the vehicle's fastback silhouette, unifying the design language between the vehicle and the accessory to create a seamless brand visual experience.
Engineered around real-world plugging scenarios, this charging and discharging gun features an optimized grip angle and weight distribution tailored for single-hand use. The handle's fine anti-slip texture, paired with high-damping buttons, enhances operational stability and grip comfort. A top-mounted translucent indicator clearly displays the working status, while the hidden cable protector minimizes bending stress, effectively extending the product's lifespan.
Crafted from high-strength, eco-friendly, flame-retardant, and crush-resistant materials, this charging and discharging gun ensures both safety and sustainability. It offers superior IP protection (connected: ≥IP55; disconnected: ≥IP54), adapting to diverse outdoor environments including rain, snow, and dust.
