How to choose a wallboxpower, features and version

Five questions that decide the right wallbox for a home or a company: power, socket or cable, number of cars, features and installation.

Step by step

Five questions before you buy

1

Power: 11 or 22 kW?

A car charges only as fast as its on-board charger allows – usually 11 kW. We recommend a 22 kW wallbox as headroom for your next car; its power can be limited to suit the breaker.

2

Socket or cable?

A fixed cable is the most convenient for everyday use. A socket suits different cars and places where a cable could get damaged.

3

One car or two?

The double version charges two cars at once from one unit – cable + socket, or 2× cable.

4

Which features?

BASIC charges at a fixed power. SMART protects the main breaker, charges from solar surplus and is controlled in the IONT.info app.

5

Installation and supply

A wallbox needs a three-phase supply with its own breaker. Installation, commissioning and inspection are carried out by a certified IONT partner.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 22 kW wallbox worth it if my car charges at 11 kW?

A wallbox outlasts a car. The 22 kW model is headroom for a future car with a faster on-board charger; its power can be limited to what your breaker and car can handle today.

Is a wallbox with a socket or a cable better?

A fixed cable is more convenient for everyday charging. A socket suits places where different cars charge or where a cable could get damaged.

What is the difference between BASIC and SMART?

Both versions have the same construction and protections. SMART also measures the house consumption with its own meter, protects the main breaker, charges from solar surplus and is controlled in the IONT.info app with RFID cards.

Does the wallbox charge all cars?

Yes, all electric cars and plug-in hybrids with a Type 2 connector, the European standard.

Who installs the wallbox?

Installation, commissioning and inspection are carried out by a certified IONT partner. We will put you in touch with the nearest one.

Not sure which to choose?

Tell us your car, your breaker and whether you have solar PV. We will recommend the right wallbox.
