Chaebi, a South Korean operator of fast-charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, said Tuesday that its ultrafast charging platform, Chaebi MCS, won a main prize in the product design category at Germany’s iF Design Award 2026.

It marks the company’s second major global design award after its Chaebi Megastation won a main prize at the Red Dot Design Award in 2024.

Chaebi MCS is an ultrafast charger offered in two models, 1 megawatt and 2 megawatts. It features a slim form factor up to 2,000 millimeters tall and a modular stack structure that allows the cabinet to be expanded as needed. The company said the design emphasizes simplicity while improving functional completeness.

The exterior uses stainless steel to boost durability and a premium look. Chaebi said the platform was developed with the goal of enabling a full charge in under five minutes and is aimed at growing demand for electrification in large commercial vehicles and logistics.

Chief Executive Choi Young-hoon said the award was meaningful recognition of Chaebi’s integrated approach to charging technology and design.
