Wallbox

Wallbox is a Spanish EV charging infrastructure manufacturer. The company’s flagship product Wallbox Pulsar Plus is a level 2 smart EV charger for residential use. Pulsar Plus sets itself apart from its competition through its smaller size (166 mm x 163 mm x 82 mm vs. 345 mm x 155 mm x 110 mm of Tesla’s Wall Connector). The company also offers Quasar, a DC bidirectional charger for home use, which uses vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology to power the home or grid using surplus energy from EVs; Supernova and Hypernova, DC fast and ultrafast chargers for public use; and a suite of AC charging solutions and smart energy management software.
