Electric car charging station Zagreb / Croatia / 2016

ELEN Leaf is the first ultra-fast electric car charging station in Croatia powered by solar energy. The station consists of a canopy with solar panels, an ultra-fast charger, and a recognizable totem.


The design is inspired by the basic biological ‘production’ process that fuels all life on Earth — photosynthesis. The primary site of photosynthesis in plants is the leaf, so it was only natural for the station’s design to communicate this ecological aspect. Moreover, the gradient of green color on clearly articulated surfaces suggests the process of charging a car.
