In October last year, the company acquired Germany&#8217;s ABL; an EV charging pioneer in that country. The 1 million+ figure is the number of cumulative Wallbox and ABL units installed worldwide combined.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSurpassing the milestone of 1 million EV chargers sold is a testament to the strength of the Wallbox Group and our commitment to accelerating the global transition to electric mobility by delivering best-in-class hardware to our customers,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/investors.wallbox.com\/news\/news-details\/2024\/Wallbox-Group-Surpasses-One-Million-EV-Chargers-Sold\/default.aspx\"> said Enric Asuncion<\/a>, CEO and co-founder of Wallbox.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Wallbox Turns Heads In Australia<\/h2>\n<p>The Wallbox brand received a lot of attention here in Australia after a pioneering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/v2g-bidirectional-installation-mb2766\/\"> bi-directional EV charger installation<\/a> in South Australia in 2022; providing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/electric-vehicles\/v2l-v2g-v2h\/\">Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)<\/a> capability. The installation used a Wallbox Quasar, which at a cost of around $10,000 plus installation at the time was certainly a pricey bit of kit.<\/p>\n<p>The Quasar is no longer available, superseded by the <a href=\"https:\/\/wallbox.com\/en\/quasar-2-bidirectional-ev-charger\">Quasar 2<\/a>. The Quasar 2 has customizable settings for solar charging and offers blackout mode, allowing EV owners to use their vehicle as an emergency energy source during a power outage. The Quasar 2, claimed to be the world\u2019s first CCS bidirectional charger, is yet to hit our shores as far as I know &#8211; but it should be thousands of dollars cheaper than the original Quasar if\/when it is sold here.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also some standards and regulatory related loose ends that need to be tied up generally with regard to bi-directional chargers in Australia. While a relevant standard, AS4777.1, was rewritten and released a couple of months ago, a rewrite of AS4777.2 is expected to be published by the end of the year, and that should finally allow bidirectional devices to be installed across the country.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Wallbox Home EV Chargers<\/h2>\n<p>Wallbox also has unidirectional (one-way) home EV chargers that have been available here; including the Pulsar Plus and Pulsar Max. The Pulsar Max is probably better suited to many Australian installation scenarios as the Plus has an operating temperature range of -25\u00b0 to 40\u00b0 Celsius, whereas the Max&#8217;s range is from -25\u00b0 to 50\u00b0C (but even so, it should be installed out of direct sunlight).<\/p>\n<p>However, when attempting to visit Plus and Max product pages on Wallbox&#8217;s website yesterday, it redirected me to the <a href=\"https:\/\/wallbox.com\/en\/pulsar-family\">Pulsar product family home page<\/a>. While still showing the pair, the blurbs aren&#8217;t linked to further details (<a href=\"https:\/\/d1lnencgr7glws.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/31122738\/EN_Pulsar_Family_Datasheets.pdf\">datasheets still available here<\/a>). Maybe there&#8217;s been some sort of website snafu or perhaps the company isn&#8217;t offering them any more &#8211; and there were no other Pulsar products designed specifically for home use listed (the Pro is for shared spaces). But I notice a few Australian vendors still selling the devices and claiming to have them in stock.<\/p>\n<p>Specifications and estimated pricing of couple of Wallbox models can be compared with other manufacturer&#8217;s products on SolarQuotes&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/ev-chargers\/\">EV charger comparison table<\/a>. That page will also tell you everything you need to know about choosing and installing a home EV charger in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, we have 18 Australian customer ratings\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/ev-chargers\/reviews\/wallbox-review.html\">reviews of Wallbox chargers<\/a> on SolarQuotes with an overall average star rating of 4.7 at the time of writing. As for SQ founder Finn&#8217;s opinion of Wallbox gear, he says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Wallbox is one of the original EV charger manufacturers and has a good reputation for quality, support and all the features you need. I\u2019d be happy with a Wallbox EV charger on my wall.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spain&#8217;s Wallbox Group says it has surpassed past one million EV chargers sold globally as at the end of the second quarter this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":87693,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Wallbox Hits 1,000,000 EV Charger Milestone<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Spain&#039;s Wallbox Group says it has surpassed past one million EV chargers sold globally as at the end of the second quarter this year.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wallbox-charger-milestone-mb3036\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Wallbox Hits 1,000,000 EV Charger Milestone\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Spain&#039;s Wallbox Group says it has surpassed past one million EV chargers sold globally as at the end of the second quarter this year.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wallbox-charger-milestone-mb3036\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-10-23T19:12:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/wallbox-ev-chargers.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wallbox-charger-milestone-mb3036\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wallbox-charger-milestone-mb3036\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Wallbox Hits 1,000,000 EV Charger Milestone\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-10-23T19:12:51+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wallbox-charger-milestone-mb3036\/\"},\"wordCount\":619,\"commentCount\":3,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wallbox-charger-milestone-mb3036\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/wallbox-ev-chargers.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
