This eliminates the need to physically interact with the charging station, making the process quicker and more user-friendly.

Moreover, should the need arise to stop the charging process before completion, users have the flexibility to do so via the app. This feature gives users complete control over their charging sessions and ensures that energy is utilized efficiently based on their requirements.

To establish a strong and recognizable brand identity, a comprehensive brand system was meticulously crafted for Hikotron. The brand system encompasses a distinctive logo and app icon that align with Hikotron's core values of innovation, connectivity, and a seamless user experience.

The focal point of the Hikotron logo is the letter 'i,' which bears a unique characteristic—a diamond superscript dot above it. This design element holds significant meaning and serves as a reference to the top of the Hikotron bollard charger. This association reinforces the link between Hikotron's visual identity and its primary offering, creating brand recognition and a sense of familiarity with the physical product/service.
