Why simplicity matters

Finding the perfect EV charger might not sound like the most exciting task, but for Eyvind Larsen Steinnes, a designer by profession, it was an important decision. With a narrow garage and three young children, practicality was a must.

“We wanted a charger that worked seamlessly without taking up too much space or drawing unnecessary attention,” says Eyvind Larsen Steinnes, home owner.

For Eyvind, amina S, with it’s sleek design and compact form, ticked all the boxes. It blends into its surroundings, avoids flashy lights or bulky features, and is easy to use. Simply plug it in, and the car charges, no apps or software needed.

Designed for modern living

Unlike many EV chargers that look like gadgets from a sci-fi movie, amina S was designed with homes in mind. Lead designer Alejandro Mandrion focused on creating a product that balances aesthetics and functionality.

Its matte finish hides wear and tear, and a cleverly angled top serves as a cable hook, removing the need for additional accessories. Black was chosen as the primary color for its durability and resistance to UV fading, making it as practical as it is stylish.

Future proof technology

The Bethuelsen Steinnes family also valued the flexibility of amina S. It’s not tied to proprietary software, meaning it can integrate with various smart home systems. Currently, the family manages charging through their car’s built-in system, optimizing it based on electricity prices. Looking ahead, they plan to connect their charger to a smart home network alongside floor heating and heat pumps, ensuring all systems work in harmony.

“It’s reassuring to know the charger is ready for future upgrades,” says Eyvind.

A safer choice

Safety is another crucial aspect of EV charging, and amina S delivers here as well. Unlike emergency chargers that come with many cars, often overloading standard wall sockets, amina S is built for long-term use without risking overheating. Professional electrician Fredrik Angelsen, who installed the charger for the family, highlights its simplicity.
