For small-battery vehicles like the Harley Davidson Livewire, it will charge as fast as an Electrify America super fast charging station, filling up within an hour and change. Quasar 2 connects to the myWallbox app through Wifi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, or 4G.īeing DC, the Quasar 2 bypasses the car’s internal inverter and will even charge cars that only charge at 7.4kW/32A at 11.5kW/48A, giving many EVs a 50% faster charge. The Quasar 2 works for the more popular CCS Combo plugs at 11.5kW (or 240V and 48A). The original Quasar only worked with Chadamo, mostly on Nissan Leafs. They can also use the car to store energy accumulated via solar or in low-demand periods to power their homes during higher demand, more expensive blocks of time. With bidirectional DC charging and the right home setup, including gateway, EV owners can use their cars to power their homes during a blackout for days. If you were excited about the Ford F-150 announcement that the truck could power a worksite or your home in a blackout for days, consider that the Wallbox Quasar 2 basically makes any EV capable of doing this – so long as the EV is compatible.
The idea of bidirectional DC charging is incredibly exciting for EV drivers, though only a few current models support the standard.

Wallbox (WBX), the Barcelona, Spain-based charger maker, announced its second generation Quasar 2 bidirectional charger at CES this week, two years after the original Quasar won our best of CES 2020. What is bidirectional V2H charging, and what can I do with it?
