The Wallbox ABL Pulsar is an intelligent charging station for home use and much more than "just" a home charger. With various intelligent accessory products, users can configure a charging solution that precisely meets their requirements.

Charging company cars with PV energy – and billing

Together with the Energy Meter Pulsar, the Wallbox ABL Pulsar can charge the electric car with PV surplus from your own solar system. If the Wallbox ABL Pulsar is used in combination with a MID-compliant meter, company car drivers can also conveniently and easily charge their company cars at home. For these applications, ABL offers bundle products: the Wallbox ABL Pulsar Solar Bundle and the Wallbox ABL Pulsar Company Car Bundle. A combination of both meters is also possible, so that company cars can also be charged with PV electricity. Ferdinand Schlutius, Co-CEO ABL, explains the Wallbox ABL Pulsar:

"We are continuously developing the ABL product portfolio. The Wallbox ABL Pulsar is the first joint product development since ABL was acquired by Wallbox Chargers in November 2023, during which the product lines of both brands will be merged into a unified portfolio that combines the best of both worlds."

New solutions for companies and housing associations

The Wallbox eM4 is primarily aimed at companies, housing associations, and parking garages. The user interface allows for intuitive operation of the charging station through visual feedback. The Wallbox eM4 complies with calibration law and is available with one or two charging points. For the public sector, ABL also offers the vandalism-proof and calibration-law-compliant charging station eMC3.

AFIR is approaching: ABL is prepared

The enactment of AFIR is approaching, and thus payment solutions are of particular interest in the public charging market. At ABL, CPOs can choose from various options. ABL charging stations are compatible with payment terminals from various third-party providers, such as Hectronic. In Frankfurt, the manufacturer presents for the first time an in-house developed payment terminal. The ABL terminal is integrated into a stela and hardware-independent.

First joint appearance with the new Spanish parent company

The Light + Building is the first joint appearance of ABL and Wallbox Chargers in the DACH region. The product programs of ABL and Wallbox Chargers complement each other, thus ABL and Wallbox Chargers together offer a portfolio that aims to cover every application. This includes AC and DC solutions for every application, which ABL will distribute in the German-speaking region. Jaume Ferré, CTO Wallbox Chargers and Co-CEO ABL, remains critical of the expansion of charging infrastructure:

“A well-developed charging infrastructure is one of the most important success factors for climate-friendly electromobility. However, some countries are lagging behind. In Germany, for example, there are about 12 purely electric cars and vans (BEV) per charging point, while in the Netherlands it's only three. Accordingly, we expect a massive increase in demand for quality charging solutions in Germany in the coming years. Through the acquisition, customers of ABL and Wallbox Chargers get access to a market-tailored product portfolio that reflects the technological strengths of both brands at the highest level. As the first result of the joint product palette, we are pleased to present the Wallbox ABL Pulsar at Light + Building, which has been specifically developed for the special needs of the market.”

What does that mean?

ABL and Wallbox have joined forces and are appearing together for the first time at Light & Building with the complete portfolio, which has been particularly refined in the semi-public charging sector.
