Description

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an electrical vehicle charging station;

FIG. 2 is a front view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a back view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a right side view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a left side view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a top view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a bottom view thereof; and

FIG. 8 is a bottom perspective view thereof;

FIG. 9 is a front view of masts used with the electric vehicle charging station shown in FIG. 1. The electric vehicle charging station having portions illuminated the color green.

FIG. 10 is a front view of masts used with the electric vehicle charging station shown in FIG. 1. The electric vehicle charging station having portions illuminated the color red.

FIG. 11 a front view of masts used with the electric vehicle charging station shown in FIG. 1. The electric vehicle charging station having a first state in a sequence for one embodiment of a dynamic lighting sequence, using the color blue, for a display along the masts thereof showing our new design;

FIG. 12 is a second state thereof;

FIG. 13 is a third state thereof;

FIG. 14 is a fourth state thereof; and,

FIG. 15 is a fifth state thereof.

The electric vehicle charging station includes one or more masts extending vertically from a main body of the charging station. The one or more masts can be any height. The one or more masts define rectangular light strips extending between the main body and a head of each of the one or more masts. A head of each of the one or more masts includes a light-up portion configured to illuminate a color matching the corresponding light strip. The color of the lights indicates a state of the vehicle charger. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a green color is indicative of the electric vehicle charging station being available and in working order, ready to be used. In another example, illustrated in FIG. 10, a red color is indicative of the electric vehicle charging station being out of service. In another example as shown in FIGS. 11-15, a blue color is indicative of a vehicle being plugged in and being charged by the electric vehicle charger. A height of the blue bar displayed by a light strip is indicative of a charge level of the vehicle.

Diagonal hatching within the drawings is representative of a green color. Vertical hatching within the drawings is representative of a red color. Horizontal hatching within the drawings is representative of a blue color. The broken lines shown in the figures form no part of the claimed design. The appearance of any portion of the electrical vehicle charging station between the break lines forms no part of the claimed design.

Claims
