Are interactive interfaces essential for modern EV chargers?

4/3/2025

As a leading supplier of premium EV chargers, Nexway is committed to providing innovative charging solutions tailored to changing market needs. A key debate in the industry centers on whether smart EV chargers truly require interactive interfaces.

1. Shift to simplified EV chargers
While charging speed, safety, and compatibility remain top priorities, the necessity of built-in displays is increasingly being questioned. Industry data shows that sales of no-screen chargers will grow 47% year-over-year in 2024, indicating a shift in consumer preferences. Three drivers explain this trend:

1.1 Cost efficiency
Eliminating the screen reduces the material cost per inch of display by 12%, making the charger easier to use without compromising performance.

1.2 Enhanced durability
The screenless design improves the IP rating by 2 levels, reduces the failure rate by 31%, and ensures reliability in harsh environments.

1.3 Optimizing user experience
72% of users prioritize seamless operation over interface complexity and prefer plug-and-play functionality.

2. Alternative solutions for real-time data, Nexway's chargers integrate seamlessly with the following devices:

2.1 On-board dashboard: Displays charging curve, power output and estimated completion time.

2.2 Mobile application: Provides detailed charging reports, historical data and remote control.

2.3 Voice assistant: Enables hands-free status updates through platforms such as Alexa or Google Home.

Case study: After removing the screen from its V4 supercharger, a leading electric vehicle brand reported a 15% increase in user satisfaction, proving that streamlined design meets modern expectations.

3. Advantages of Nexway's screenless charger

3.1 All-weather reliability
Under extreme conditions (-30°C), the screenless charger maintains 100% operability, while the failure rate of devices with LCD is 23%, making it ideal for outdoor installations.

3.2 Faster operation
The streamlined workflow reduces setup time by 40 seconds. Typical use consists of three steps:
→ Connect charger → Authenticate via RFID/app → Automatically start charging.

3.3 Military-grade protection
Nexway screenless models are IP67 rated, withstand 2,000 hours of salt spray testing, and have a connector integrity of 99.6%, which is better than competitors equipped with displays (92.3%).

3.4 Balanced solutions for different needs
While the minimalist design is suitable for most users, Nexway provides modular options for special scenarios.

Business Center: Optional external display for public sites that require real-time user feedback.

Custom Branding: Customize additional interfaces with customized software for enterprise customers.

Conclusion
The future of EV charging lies in intelligent simplification. By eliminating non-essential components, Nexway’s screenless chargers provide superior durability, cost savings, and easy integration with digital ecosystems—while maintaining compliance with global safety standards.
