AC Wallbox Charging Stations: Safe, Fast and Convenient Charging for Homes and Businesses

Are you looking for a reliable, user-friendly solution for charging your electric vehicle at home or for your company fleet? A wallbox (home charging station) is the safest and most efficient way to charge an electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid in a garage, under a carport or in a company car park.

These AC wallboxes for electric vehicles, with an output of up to 22 kW (at 32 A AC), can significantly reduce charging time compared with standard sockets while ensuring maximum charging safety.

How to Choose the Right Wallbox for Home and Business Use

When choosing the right charging station, focus primarily on the following parameters:

Charging power (11 kW vs. 22 kW):

• 11 kW wallbox (3×16 A): The most common standard for households. It can charge most electric vehicles overnight without placing excessive strain on the building’s main circuit breaker.
• 22 kW wallbox (3×32 A): Ideal for businesses or vehicles with a more powerful onboard charger. It requires sufficient capacity of the main circuit breaker.

Design (Cable vs. Socket):

• Model with an integrated cable: A practical option for immediate use. The cable is always ready at the station, so you just need to arrive and plug the connector into the car.
• Model with a Type 2 (T2) socket: A universal solution that allows you to easily connect any charging cable. You can find a wide range of high-quality charging cables directly in our e-shop.
• Connection to a photovoltaic system (PV): Would you like to charge for free using solar energy? Choose a charging station that supports charging from surplus electricity generated by your photovoltaic system.

Intelligent Features and Smart Power Management

Modern AC wallboxes offer advanced technologies for easy operation, safety and cost savings:

• Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB): Protection against circuit breaker tripping. A smart wallbox with load balancing (via a SmartMeter) automatically regulates the charging current based on the building’s current electricity consumption—for example, when a heat pump or oven is running.
• Easy authorisation: Charging starts automatically once the vehicle is connected, or securely via an RFID card/tag or mobile app—ideal for company fleets and shared parking areas.
• Remote Management and Cloud Connectivity: Selected models communicate with a cloud server (such as the SECTRON EMA system), enabling consumption monitoring, remote user management and the generation of documents for cost allocation and accounting.

Flexible Installation and Durability for Indoor and Outdoor Use

Wallboxes stand out for their compact dimensions and flexibility - they can be easily mounted on a garage wall, house facade or a separate stand (pole).

A high ingress-protection rating (IP54 and above) ensures excellent resistance to adverse weather conditions, rain and sunlight. This makes the charging stations fully suitable for year-round indoor and outdoor operation.
