Charge N Chillâ„¢ Brings Charging to the Outdoors

Why Public Spaces Need Power

97 percent of Australians own a mobile phone but most parks are still designed as if they don’t.

Public spaces are changing. Visitors are using parks not just to unwind, but to connect, navigate, share moments, and even work remotely. When their phone dies, so does their visit. That’s the gap GX Outdoors set out to close - with Charge N Chill™, a purpose-built outdoor charging station that brings real utility to public spaces, without compromising natural design or durability.

Why Public Spaces Need Power

“We designed Charge N Chill™ to support real-life use of public places - without adding clutter or complexity."
Wesley Kirk, Head of Product Development, GX Outdoors

Developed in close collaboration with park designers and landscapers, Charge N Chill™ addresses the challenges of durability, maintenance, and aesthetic integration in Australian outdoor environments.

What Makes Charge N Chill™ Different

Designed for real-world use

  • Dust- and waterproof USB ports, and a wireless charging pad for universal device compatibility.

Robust, weather-resistant construction

  • Stands up to harsh conditions, including corrosion, extreme temperatures, and saltwater.
  • Built with fewer parts and high-quality, durable materials to resist damage and wear.

Why Public Spaces Need Power

Customisable aesthetic

  • Over 50 powder coat colours to choose from, ensuring the station blends seamlessly into any public space or park. 

Research reveals that 68 percent of park visitors want more amenities, like charging stations, to enhance their experience. Moreover, data shows that providing such park amenities can directly lead to longer visits, with some studies reporting up to 20% longer visitor duration when charging stations are available. This highlights the increasing demand for integrated solutions that not only facilitate a connected experience but also foster engagement and community interaction.

Why Public Spaces Need Power

More than just a charging station, Charge N Chill™ is a blueprint for the future of public space design. It treats technology as a supportive tool - not a distraction, but an enabler. With thoughtful design and placement, it helps people stay out longer, feel safer, and reconnect with each other and with the outdoors.
