Wallbox Chargers :Reforming EV Charging with the Power of Sirius

Wallbox Chargers is redefining the electric vehicle (EV) charging market with smart, sustainable solutions designed to overcome the prevalent challenges of limited power availability and high operational costs. Its Sirius Controller is a game-changing system that optimises energy management and elevates the overall charging experience for consumers and charge point operators (CPO).

“Our Sirius system intelligently distributes energy, preventing costly consumption spikes and ensuring grid stability without exceeding installation limits,” says Xavier Martin, VP of Fast Charging.

Smooth Charging Experiences, Optimised Energy Management

Wallbox doesn’t just focus on providing top-tier hardware like the Supernova (DC) and eM4 (AC) chargers; it complements these offerings with intelligent energy management solutions. The Sirius Controller integrates seamlessly with these chargers, elevating their performance by optimising energy consumption and boosting overall efficiency.

Sirius also integrates with Battery Energy Storage Systems to maximise the use of clean energy while reducing dependence on the grid. From a user experience standpoint, it provides an intuitive interface with real-time feedback, keeping EV drivers informed of charger availability and status for a seamless charging experience.

The benefits of Sirius extend beyond energy management in ideal conditions. Even in challenging environments, like brownfield sites with limited infrastructure, Sirius shines. Intelligently managing power constraints ensures that multiple fast chargers can operate efficiently. In dynamic energy environments, such as fleet operations or parking facilities, Sirius goes further—constantly monitoring energy usage and adjusting power distribution to enhance efficiency without exceeding available capacity.

Blending Fast Charging with Intelligent Management

While Sirius optimises energy distribution, Wallbox’s hardware delivers unmatched charging capabilities, particularly its Supernova chargers. Combining high power density, attractive pricing, and a versatile modular design, Supernova is built to meet the growing demand for fast, reliable EV charging in diverse locations. These features support efficient energy management and empower CPOs to maximise their return on investment.

The Supernova charger also features customisable skin to fit branding needs and an interactive lighting system that provides drivers with beacon lights, connector status indicators and courtesy lights that give a clear view of the charger’s status from a distance. One standout capability is its split charging feature that enables it to service two vehicles simultaneously. This is particularly advantageous for sites with limited power, such as gas stations, high-power charging hubs, car dealerships and shopping malls. By integrating Sirius Energy Intelligence to manage use, the efficiency of charging stations is further elevated.

Designed to meet the urgent needs of modern drivers, the Supernova can deliver up to 100 miles of range in just eight minutes, allowing EV owners to spend less time charging and more time on the road. Its compatibility with solar PV systems, energy storage solutions and bidirectional charging ensures the system is future-ready, enabling operators to adapt to the evolving energy landscape while maximising their investments in charging infrastructure.

The Supernova is fully compatible with the Sirius Controller, enhancing overall efficiency and reducing charging costs. Its offline mode and remote updates ensure uninterrupted charging services, even in areas with unreliable internet connectivity. While Wallbox focuses on meeting current market demands with the Supernova, it is also preparing to expand its fast-charging range with the upcoming centralised charging system, Hypernova, that will deliver 600kW.

Advanced charging solutions like Supernova and Sirius are just part of the equation. Wallbox offers extensive support to ensure optimal performance. It understands that long-term success hinges on ongoing support. That’s why it provides comprehensive maintenance and service programs, such as the Cosmos maintenance management system, which enhances operational efficiency through remote monitoring and troubleshooting. This ensures that Wallbox customers receive more than just cutting-edge technology—they also get reliable, around-the-clock support.

The Wallbox Care Program is a suite of customisable services designed to ensure the optimal installation, operation and maintenance of the Supernova. This program includes commissioning by certified agents to guarantee reliability and safety through timely, preventive and corrective maintenance. Customers benefit from an extended warranty covering unexpected repair costs and access to spare parts that prolong the charger's lifespan.

Wallbox equips its sales and partner networks with comprehensive training and support materials for sales and partner networks, ensuring effective operation and sales. Remote support through Wallbox's dedicated customer care service ensures that assistance is always available, reinforcing the company’s commitment to exceptional service and reliability.

Leading By Example to Reshape the Future of EV Charging

Wallbox’s innovations have been successfully implemented in real-world applications. A notable example is the deployment of the Sirius Energy Management system at its headquarters. Facing a limitation of 173 kW of grid power while requiring over 400 kW for their expanding facility, Wallbox developed the Sirius Controller to intelligently balance energy usage without costly upgrades.

By integrating 400 kWp of solar panels, bidirectional EV chargers and stationary batteries, Sirius enabled Wallbox to effectively manage energy resources and achieve significant cost savings while reducing environmental impact. In 2022 alone, the company avoided 73 tons of CO2 emissions and saved over 40 percent on energy bills. These numbers underscore the power of intelligent energy management that Wallbox delivers through its innovative solutions.

At the forefront of the EV charging industry, Wallbox is driving operational efficiency, sustainable energy management and a superior customer experience, paving the way for a greener future for the EV industry through intelligent solutions.
