First Porsche Charging Station in Bingen, Germany

Highlighted by ADO Lights LED Lightlines

Porsche has embarked on an ambitious project to develop exclusive electric charging stations for its electric vehicle owners. The lighting design for the inaugural station in Bingen am Rhein was conceptualized by the renowned a g Licht from Cologne. As a premier manufacturer of bespoke luminaires, ADO Lights played a key role in bringing this vision to life, ensuring a blend of functionality and aesthetic excellence.

The station is equipped with a combination of high-speed DC chargers (300-400kW) and 22kW AC chargers, designed to meet the diverse needs of Porsche’s clientele, all set within a sleek and innovative architectural framework.

A standout feature of the new charging station is the slender, seemingly floating roof, which elegantly connects the loading bays to the main building. This architectural element is beautifully illuminated by ADO Lights’ custom LED Lightlines, guiding customers from the chargers to the building and enhancing the seamless transition between exterior and interior spaces.

Inside the lounge, floor-to-ceiling glazing combined with pleasant 4,000K light tones and light wood finishes creates a welcoming and comfortable environment. The Lightlines are carefully aligned with the wooden ceiling above the charging station, ensuring a cohesive visual flow that complements the overall architectural theme.

One of the most challenging aspects of the project was the precise integration of the Lightlines around the curved edges of the ceiling. ADO Lights met this challenge by delivering continuous, dark zone-free transitions from straight to curved sections, preserving the uninterrupted, flowing light aesthetic.

This attention to detail not only highlights the technical expertise of ADO Lights but also enhances the user experience by providing consistent and visually appealing illumination throughout the station. The result is a space that is both functional and inviting, embodying Porsche’s commitment to luxury and innovation.
