Electric vehicle charging solutions provider Wallbox and ChargeLab, an EV charging software provider, have formed a strategic partnership to streamline commercial EV charger deployments across North America. This collaboration integrates cutting-edge hardware and smart software to offer distributors a bundled solution.
Under the terms of this partnership, Wallbox’s Pulsar Pro Level 2 charger and Supernova 180 DC fast chargers sold as part of this bundled offering will come pre-configured to utilize ChargeLab software through OCPP. This integration unlocks smart charging features including power management (load balancing), pricing functionality for charger monetization and access control. The combined solution is an ideal choice for charging deployments in workplaces, multi-family dwellings and public charging networks.
“Following the successful launch of our Supernova 180 in North America, we are excited to announce our partnership with ChargeLab, which will allow us to offer customers in a number of key locations across North America, a holistic commercial solution,” says Fred Turner, senior director of Wallbox North America. “The integration of ChargeLab’s advanced software with our state-of-the-art chargers will simplify and enhance the overall experience for distributors, Charge Point operators and end users, ultimately helping to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles.”
“The partnership between Wallbox and ChargeLab marks a significant milestone in the evolution of EV chargers as a product line for electrical distributors,” adds Zak Lefevre, CEO of ChargeLab. “By integrating our smart software capabilities with Wallbox’s top-of-the-line hardware, we are empowering the market with a holistic solution that not only meets current needs, but also paves the way for future scale.”
