WALLBOX PULSAR PLUS EV CHARGER UNBOXING, INSTALLATION AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive unboxing, installation, and initial impressions of the Wallbox Pulsar Plus EV charger. The reviewer highlights its compact size, comparing it favorably to other popular chargers, and praises the well-constructed, rubberized connector grip. Installation is described as straightforward, with the unit easily snapping onto its mounting bracket. Key features discussed include the NEMA-4 enclosure for enhanced weather protection, adjustable power output via the app (from 16 to 40 amps), and the power-sharing capability for multiple chargers on a single circuit. The reviewer notes that Wi-Fi and app setup are optional but recommended to access smart features like scheduling and voice assistant compatibility (Alexa/Google Home). The 40-amp plug-in version is reviewed, with a mention of a 48-amp hardwired variant. A critical point is made regarding NEMA 14-50 outlet installation, emphasizing the need for the ground pin to be oriented downwards for compatibility with the Pulsar Plus. The charger is priced at $649, with a $50 discount available, bringing it to $599. The reviewer considers this a good deal for a feature-rich, NEMA-4 rated, 40-amp smart charger with a 25-foot cable and a three-year warranty.
