The Pulsar Plus by Wallbox is one of the most popular home EV chargers in Ireland. The company was formed near Barcelona in 2015, and has since grown to be a truly global brand.
Almost a decade after its creation, Wallbox now boasts a range of quality EV chargers, including the Wallbox Pulsar Plus, which we’ll explore on this page.

Product Features
Why Choose the Wallbox Pulsar Plus
The Wallbox Pulsar Plus charger comes in three power outputs: 7.4kW, 11kW and 22kW. In Ireland and the UK, single phase power systems are the norm, unlike on the continent, where three-phase is often used. This means that in Ireland, a 7.4kW pulsar plus charger is generally all you will need.
The slick Pulsar Plus home charger comes in either black or white, and has a 5-metre tethered cable – meaning the cable is permanently attached. A meter cable is also available, however the 5-metre cable is generally enough to meet the needs of most people.
Wallbox’s Pulsar Plus charger can also be found at businesses, with wall mounted and pillar mounted charge points being installed at locations across the country.
Charge your Vehicle with Electricity from Solar Panels
People with an EV and solar panels in Ireland can also take advantage of free electricity generated by sunlight with their Wallbox electric vehicle charger.
Wallbox’s Eco Smart solar integration technology allows EV owners to sustainably charge their vehicle using solar energy, ensuring extra savings and a reduction in your carbon footprint.
To charge your electric car with solar panels using the Wallbox Pulsar Plus, you will need an additional power meter, which allows you to control your charging and decide how much solar generated energy is used to power up your vehicle.
Full Green Mode and Eco Mode
By integrating a power meter, you can choose between two different modes to charge your EV: Full Green Mode and Eco Mode.
Full Green Mode allows you to fully charge your car with green electricity by detecting when there is enough surplus energy to facilitate charging.
Eco Mode also allows you to charge your vehicle using solar panels, but mixes it with grid energy to guarantee a fast charge.
Load Balancing Feature Prevents Blackouts
Using too much electricity at once can cause your circuit breaker to trip, which can be a nuisance if it happens constantly.
With a Pulsar Plus home electric car charger, you don’t need to worry about demanding too much power from your circuit at the same time, causing blackouts.
This is down to Wallbox’s load management system, which measures the energy usage of your home in real time and adjusts charging to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Wallbox EV Charing App
Wallbox’s easy-to-use app is attractive to EV owners, giving them more control and the ability to monitor their charging remotely.
The app allows people to schedule their charging, monitor their usage rates and has a remote lock feature which turns the LED halo amber.
Another feature the app allows for (which is not commonly used) is changing power output levels of the charger.
The Pulsar Plus LED Halo Ring
The LED halo ring on a Pulsar Plus tells you all you need to know about the status of your charger at any given moment. There are five colours which change depending on your charger’s status.
