Wallbox (Home Charger)
A wallbox is a fixed charging station for electric cars at home or work.
What is Wallbox (Home Charger)?
It charges faster and more safely than a household socket. Many have smart features. Installation must be done by an electrician. Many countries require residual current protection suitable for DC fault currents. Smart wallboxes can charge when electricity is cheap or when solar power is available.
How it works
The wallbox supplies AC power and communicates with the car.
Why it matters for your car
Check local rules and incentives. Choose power suited to the car and grid connection.
