With our wallbox comparison, you can find exactly the right charging station for your parking space.
Charging an electric car for regular use makes the installation of a private wallbox indispensable in the long term; public charging options are often not sufficient here. E-mobility can only be optimally integrated into everyday life with your own charging station at the parking space. However, there are a few things to consider when choosing the right wallbox for your parking situation. For example, a charging station in a free-standing parking space must meet different requirements than a wallbox in a garage or underground car park. If you need to charge your electric car outside, features such as cable length, base availability, dust and water protection or access protection are therefore particularly important for the installation.
Two devices that are ideally equipped for outdoor use are the myEnergi zappi V2 and the Heidelberg Wallbox Home Eco. Here, resistance to weather conditions and protection against "electricity thieves" are the top priorities. The robustness of the two wallboxes is demonstrated, for example, by their high protection classes. While the Zappi charging station with IP65 is not only dustproof, but also impervious to water jets, the IP54 protection class protects the Wallbox Home Eco from dust in damaging quantities and from heavy water spray. To prevent unauthorized access to the charging device, both wallboxes also offer various protection mechanisms: the myenergi Zappi can only be used with a PIN, while the Heidelberg Wallbox Home Eco is optionally protected against unauthorized access via an external switch with a potential-free contact using RFID or a key. Because free-standing parking spaces often do not allow wall mounting of a charging station, or only to a limited extent, the wallbox should ideally be able to be mounted on a stand. The myEnergi Zappi V2 can be mounted on the wall or fixed to a stand: Thanks to its robust steel base, the charging station defies all eventualities. And the integrated charging cables on both wallboxes with lengths between 5 and 7.5 m also make charging with your own charging station much easier. In addition, both support charging with your own PV system.
