Wallbox has launched the Pulsar Pro, a new home charger designed for employees who charge company cars at home. The device automatically tracks charging sessions and calculates reimbursement amounts, removing the need for manual mileage logs or separate metering systems.
The Pulsar Pro is compatible with most EVs and can be integrated with fleet management software. It offers dynamic load balancing to avoid overloading household circuits and includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for remote monitoring.
According to EV Infrastructure News, the charger is available now in Europe, with pricing starting at €699. The company states that the reimbursement feature can save fleet operators up to 20% in administrative costs per charging session.
Polestar has announced a new initiative to lower home-charging costs for its customers. The program offers discounted electricity rates during off-peak hours via partnerships with regional utilities across Europe.
Independent testing by Car and Driver and What Car? has compared the latest home chargers for performance, build quality, and smart features. The tests covered both wall-mounted and portable units, with a focus on real-world charging speed and reliability.
Per Car and Driver, the top-rated model in their test was the Wallbox Pulsar Pro, which achieved a 98% efficiency rating and offered the most intuitive app interface. Meanwhile, What Car? highlighted the Solarwatt Manager as the best value option, noting its competitive price and robust warranty.
Both publications emphasized that installation quality matters as much as the charger itself, recommending certified electricians for all hardwired units.
