Wallbox presents Quasar 2: More than just a charger

Wallbox, a leading player in charging and energy management solutions for electric vehicles, has showcased the Quasar 2 – its latest bi-directional charger during a live demonstration in Stockholm. This ground-breaking technology enables not only the charging of vehicles, but also the transfer of energy back to the grid and households.
The demonstration took place in collaboration with the CUPRA BORN 77kWh, which is the first electric car with confirmed compatibility with Quasar 2. This live demonstration also marked the beginning of an era where more and more next-generation electric cars are expected to be compatible with this bidirectional charger.

“Bidirectional charging is the future”

Wallbox is behind the first and only bidirectional charger on the European market and aims to launch the first projects in the fourth quarter of this year. “Bidirectional charging is clearly the future. As our energy needs increase, the value proposition of bidirectional charging becomes undeniable,” says Guillem Iváñez, Head of Bidirectional Charging at Wallbox.

Savings and sustainability with Quasar 2

Thanks to Quasar 2, EV owners can not only save on home energy costs through V2H and vehicle-to-grid V2G functions, but also contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle and help balance the increasing pressure on the electricity grid. By using bi-directional charging, users can save up to €1000 annually. Quasar 2 turns your electric car into a powerful energy unit. On average, an electric car with this charger can power an average European home for over three days. Using the Wallbox app, users can schedule their charging sessions when energy prices are low, or when solar power is available, and discharge their car to power the home when prices are high.

Quasar 2 – The perfect companion to your solar panel system

Users with solar panel installations can store excess energy in their electric car during periods of low usage and then utilize this energy at another time, for example during peak traffic, to reduce their reliance on the grid. This makes users more energy independent and contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle. Quasar 2 is a powerful bidirectional charger with a maximum output of 12.8kW. It can both receive and send energy back to the grid and is compatible with the myWallbox app via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet or 4G. This charger turns your electric car into a powerful energy device and is designed to help you charge up, go far and power your life – no matter what.
