Integration of Wallbox EV chargers with EnergyHub’s platform expands the number of devices eligible to participate in utility active and passive managed charging programs.
With more EVs on the road, the demand for residential charging solutions is growing steadily. According to the US Department of Energy, 80% of all EV charging occurs at home. Managed charging programs help utilities reshape EV charging load, protect distribution assets, and proactively address load growth while providing their customers with financial incentives to participate.
EnergyHub and Wallbox expect to enroll Wallbox devices in utility programs from this month. By combining utility rebates and program participation incentives, Wallbox customers can significantly reduce the upfront and ongoing costs of EV charger ownership. According to EnergyHub, four out of five customers participating in utility programs reported buying their level 2 EV charger specifically to enroll in a program.
