Wallbox Earns CTEP Certification for Supernova DC Fast Charger
Wallbox (NYSE: WBX), a leading global provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy management solutions, announced today that its Supernova DC fast charger has successfully received California Type Evaluation Program (CTEP) certification. This significant achievement confirms that Wallbox’s fast-charging technology meets California’s strict standards for measurement accuracy and billing transparency. It also positions the company for accelerated growth in North America’s largest EV market.
The CTEP certification is a critical requirement for EV chargers that are involved in electricity sales. It ensures that the chargers meet specific guidelines for transaction accuracy, including the display of essential details such as the amount of electricity dispensed, unit price, and total cost. This level of transparency and reliability is vital for consumers and operators alike.
“Achieving CTEP certification for Supernova underscores our dedication to technical excellence and consumer trust, marking an important milestone in our North American expansion strategy,” said Douglas Alfaro, Chief Fast Charging Officer at Wallbox. “California is the national leader in EV adoption, and this certification highlights our commitment to delivering reliable, accurate, and transparent charging solutions that meet the highest regulatory standards.”
Key Certification Highlights:
- Accuracy Standards: Wallbox’s charging equipment meets CTEP’s stringent accuracy criteria, ensuring precise power measurements for every charging session.
- Commercial Deployment: The certification allows Wallbox to deploy its chargers across California’s commercial charging network, expanding its footprint in the state.
- Transparency for Consumers: Certified Wallbox chargers will display point-of-sale pricing and provide digital receipts, ensuring full transparency for consumers regarding the charging process and costs.
- Strengthened Market Position: This certification bolsters Wallbox’s position in the rapidly growing North American EV charging market, where demand for fast-charging solutions continues to surge.
The CTEP certification enables Wallbox to broaden its reach in California, one of the world’s most progressive EV markets, complementing the company’s existing residential charging solutions. This achievement not only allows Wallbox to participate in key infrastructure projects but also contributes to enhancing the country’s overall EV charging infrastructure.
In addition to its fast-charging solutions, Wallbox has established itself as a leader in residential EV charging systems, offering products that allow consumers to manage and optimize their energy usage. The company’s Supernova DC fast charger now strengthens this offering by expanding Wallbox’s portfolio to include commercial-grade fast-charging infrastructure, providing operators with an efficient and reliable solution for high-demand charging locations.
