BARCELONA, Spain, Sept. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

  -- Eco-Smart allows Wallbox users to charge their electric vehicle with 
     solar or wind energy at home. This embedded smart feature is now 
     available in all European countries, Australia, and Latin America, and 
     is coming soon to the US.

Wallbox, a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy 
management solutions worldwide, launches Eco-Smart, the company's first energy 
management feature specifically designed to charge with clean energy at home. 
Users are now able to maximize their clean energy consumption, as well as 
improve their return on investment on solar panels or other clean energy 
generating installations.

With Eco-Smart (

), Wallbox joins just a handful of charging manufacturers in Europe who 
currently enable EV charging with self-generated clean energy. The launch of 
Eco-Smart comes just one week after the company unveiled Sirius ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3291597-1&h=2416083846&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwallbox.com%2Fen_uk%2Fenergy-management%2Fsirius-energy-management&a=Sirius 
), its innovative energy management system designed to maximise renewable 
energy for commercial spaces, and further expands the company's portfolio of 
green energy management solutions.

"We know that EV drivers are significantly more likely to have solar panels 
installed at their homes, so it was important to innovate in a way that would 
support the needs and goals of our users." said Eduard Castañeda, CPO and 
co-founder of Wallbox. "Eco-Smart will further accelerate the transition to 
sustainable transportation by allowing EV drivers  to use renewable energy in 
the smartest and most efficient way possible."

Eco-Smart is controlled through the company's proprietary app, myWallbox, and 
can be accessed by all users for free. The new feature, which is now available 
throughout Europe, Australia, and Latin America, and soon to be available in 
the U.S, also ensures greater control and flexibility with two modes to choose 
from;

  - Full-Green mode uses exclusively green energy to charge a car, detecting 
when there is enough surplus green energy available at the home to meet the 
minimum requirements needed to power an EV. Only when these requirements are 
met will the EV begin charging, ensuring that every charge is 100% green. 
  - Eco mode minimizes the use of grid power while charging the EV by utilizing 
any surplus green energy available. The software detects the green energy that 
is not being used elsewhere in a home in real-time and mixes it with energy 
from the grid to ensure an efficient charge.

Eco-Smart now comes standard with Pulsar Plus, Wallbox's best-selling charger, 
and Copper SB and requires connection to a compatible energy meter.
