Ratio EV has introduced the io8, an innovative EV charger that combines high functionality with aesthetic appeal, designed to enhance both the practicality and ambiance of its installation sites. The io8 builds on the io7 model by offering advanced lighting capabilities, featuring a lighting unit that emits soft, diffused light, ideal for creating inviting, well-lit environments in spaces like hotel car parks and corporate campuses. Available in three height options (1.5m, 2.5m, and 3m), the io8 is a flexible fit for a range of settings.
The io8’s lighting design prioritizes safety and usability, helping users locate charging stations easily while also providing illumination for charging cables. It doubles as emergency lighting during power outages, further supporting nighttime visibility and security.
Manufactured in Redditch, the io8 provides exceptional quality as well as meeting practical requirements. Under the hood, the io8 offers reliable charging options, including both single-phase (7.4kW) and three-phase (22kW) configurations. Compliant with industry standards and accessibility requirements, it also features an IK10-rated aluminium body for durability and integrates sustainable materials, with recycled aluminium. To optimize charging efficiency, io8 supports both static and dynamic load management through the optional io8 Sense hardware.
