EV charging solutions sorted with ElectricalDirect

With the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) reporting that sales of electric vehicles reached their largest-ever monthly market share in December 2022 and demand continuing to soar, retailer ElectricalDirect has expanded its range with a collection from Wallbox to support this growing market.

Wallbox products provide high quality and reassurance to installers and end users alike, going beyond electric vehicle charging to give users the power to control their consumption, save money, and live more sustainably.

The new line-up available at ElectricalDirect includes the Wallbox pulsar max charger that is designed to make every day EV charging easier than ever. Compact, easy to install, and compatible with Type 2 EVs, this premium tethered charger can deliver up to 7.2kW of fast-charging power. And for increased convenience, it can easily be controlled within the myWallbox app, as well as hands-free compatibility and voice control via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

ElectricalDirect also stocks matching accessories and load management solutions that are compatible with the pulsar max charger, enabling installers to tailor energy management solutions to customers’ needs. For example, when used with the Wallbox 100A single-phase EV charging power meter, it unlocks eco-smart functionality – giving users the choice of charging with 100% green energy from solar panels, or a mix of solar and grid energy.

Sophie Anthony, Category Manager at ElectricalDirect said: “As sales for electric vehicles continue to surge, the demand for quality wall charging unit installations also grows. Our own research indicates that 56% of homeowners are planning to purchase a hybrid or fully electric vehicle this year, so for installers, getting a clear understanding of the available products and latest technologies that help to facilitate the demand for charging points is a very clear step in maximising this valuable business opportunity and reaching a wider customer base. We are delighted to partner with Wallbox, as a reputable and world-renowned leader in this category to provide electrical installers with competitively priced, high-quality EV chargers and make the most out of this growing market.”
