As the team notes, the charging station frames can be configured in different ways: either featuring an opaque roof with or without greenery; or a glass roof with or without integral photovoltaic panels. When implemented, the photovoltaic system supplies energy for the lounge and the integrated media technology. Slats beneath the roof act as filters, modulating and channeling sunlight into the charging bay area.

Based on two basic modules, the smaller of these two modules can be combined to form XS or S stations. With a rectangular footprint of around 3.5m × 5m, it was developed for use in existing car parks and service areas. The self-supporting steel structure allows the modules to be extended to create smaller drive-through variants with up to four charging points. With a hexagonal footprint, the larger module can be used for M and L stations. In the future, the modular concept can be extended to create XL hubs of varying sizes with amenities such as shops, spas, fitness and entertainment.
