Wallboxes with two charging points

Car at the wallbox

If you want to use one wallbox for two electric cars at the same time, or if you run a small fleet as a company, you need one or more twin or duo wallboxes with two connections. We show which twin chargers are suitable and where the differences lie!

One wallbox with one charging point in the garage or on the company premises is not always enough. What if there are several electric vehicles in the family or there is not enough space for a second charging station in the company parking lot?

 

One for two: the innovative twin chargers

With a so-called "twin charger", both the space and capacity problem can be easily solved with the double charging point. Advances in technology make a lot of things possible, as can easily be seen with the innovative Pracht Alpha XT and Elinta Charge CityCharge charging stations.

Each of these dual chargers combines two charging points in one charging station and is equipped for use both in double or underground garages as well as outdoors in company parking lots. In addition to the two charging points, this is made possible by the Twin Charger's high-quality electronic components. The intelligent internal load management, which each charging station has in addition to the two charging sockets, guarantees the safe connection of two vehicles at the same time, whereby the charging power is automatically adjusted. Protected access via an RFID system as well as integrated DC fault current detection and, if necessary, even RCD protection are now standard features of modern charging points - regardless of whether they are twin chargers or not. These three twin chargers are also equipped with the appropriate technology. Combining two charging points in one charging station reduces installation costs and space requirements. The installation of a wallbox with two charging points is doubly worthwhile, especially outdoors, where extra stands are often required, as only one stand is needed per wallbox.

Conclusion

Both the Pracht XT charging station and the Elinta Charge CityCharge charging stations enable safe synchronous charging of two vehicles thanks to the double charging points. Both twin chargers also have integrated protection against unauthorized access, water and dust as well as DC fault current detection. The Pracht Alpha XT and the Elinta Charge CityCharge twin chargers are also PV-compatible and therefore suitable for the use of green electricity from your own PV system.

The Elinta Charge CityCharge charging station also scores points with its ability to be operated via an app. The best prerequisite for smart home integration.

The Pracht Alpha XT wallbox has very high IP protection (IP65), which even allows it to be used outdoors without a weather protection roof. The Elinta is protected against splash water. A weather canopy can help protect against possible water ingress.
