Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Wallbox Pulsar Plus be installed in an apartment or condo?

Yes. Its compact size makes it ideal for multi-family installations. However, condo and apartment installations require HOA or landlord approval and may require coordination with the building’s electrical infrastructure. California law (Civil Code 4745) gives EV owners the right to install charging in their designated parking space.

What is OCPP and why does it matter?

OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) is an open standard that allows EV chargers to communicate with charging network management systems. For residential users, this means the Wallbox Pulsar Plus can be managed by a building’s central energy management system — important for multi-family properties.

Does the Wallbox Pulsar Plus qualify for California utility rebates?

Yes. The Wallbox Pulsar Plus is Wi-Fi enabled and ENERGY STAR certified, qualifying for rebates from SCE, PG&E, LADWP, and SDG&E.
