Who benefits from a wallbox

A charging station at home is particularly worthwhile for you if you want to charge independently of the public charging network. Especially in combination with a photovoltaic system, you save on the electricity costs for your electric car as you get the power directly from your own roof.

What is a wallbox used for?

When buying an electric car, the question of where to charge it quickly arises. To avoid having to rely on the public charging infrastructure, e-car drivers often purchase their own wallbox. Wallboxes are charging stations that have been specially developed for installation at home, for example on the house wall or carport.

What are the advantages of a wallbox?

There are many good reasons for having a wallbox at home - including the flexibility it offers you. Your car charges while you go about your daily routine at home or while you sleep at night.

The purchase of a wallbox also allows you to charge safely with your own electricity. Because you can choose your own electricity provider at home, the electricity for charging costs exactly the same as household electricity and is therefore often cheaper than the price at public charging stations.

It is particularly affordable for you if you charge your car with the wallbox using your self-generated electricity from a photovoltaic system.

How long does the charging process take at a wallbox?

The exact charging time always depends on your electric car and the performance of the battery. In general, it is always better for the battery if it is charged slowly. Wallboxes with a charging capacity of 11 kW, such as the PANTABOX, allow you to charge gently. With such a charging capacity, the charging process usually takes between 3 and 4 hours. However, this is only a guide value. Charging is also influenced by factors such as the outside temperature or the available power at the house connection.

We recommend that you never fully charge the battery in order to protect it as much as possible.

Conclusion?

A wallbox is worthwhile for you if you want to charge conveniently and cheaply at home. It is most cost-effective for you if you charge with self-generated PV electricity.
