Wallbox: what is it and how to use it?

Get to know these charging stations, which can make your day-to-day life easier with your electric car.

Electric Mobility is already a reality for many drivers who do not dispense with their car as their favorite means of transport, without compromising their impact on the environment. There are several advantages of having an electric car, and today we explore the wallbox in detail, a practical and economical solution.

What is a wallbox?

A wallbox is a domestic electric car charging station. As the name implies, it is a charging box that you can mount on the wall of your home, so you can conveniently charge your electric vehicle without having to go to a public charging station.

The most popular models are the three-phase or type 3 wallbox, an electrical connection model widely used throughout Europe.

Wallbox: how to install?

Installing a wallbox consists of two parts: installing the wallbox itself and connecting it to the electrical network. Wallbox installation usually uses tools already included in its packaging, such as screws and wall brackets, so that you can quickly place it wherever you want. In the second step, following the procedure in the instruction manual, you must connect the different cables from the wallbox to the respective circuit breakers on your electricity panel. Alternatively, you can also connect your wallbox to a plug to later connect it to an electrical outlet. In both scenarios, it is recommended to use an electrician for greater safety.

Where to mount my wallbox?

The best place to mount your wallbox is in the garage or on a terrace. Today, many wallbox models have water or dust resistance certificates, which allow them to withstand outdoor conditions.

How does a wallbox work?

The wallbox must be connected to the mains for it to work properly. You must turn it on and then connect the charging cable to your vehicle. On the control panel you can adjust settings such as charging schedule and access useful information such as the energy carried during charging. There are also wallboxes with RDIF card systems or remote control apps for a personalized experience.
