To choose a wallbox compatible with your electric vehicle, it is essential to consider various factors, especially when opting for a home charging solution using alternating current. Here are the main points to keep in mind when selecting the right wallbox for your needs:

  1. Type of Charging Connector:
    – Type 1 Connector: Compatible with some electric vehicles, it supports single-phase charging up to 7.4 kW (32A, 230V). Ideal for older vehicles or specific models.
    – Type 2 Connector: Very common in Europe, it supports single-phase charging up to 7.4 kW (32A, 230V) and three-phase charging up to 22 kW (32A, 400V). Suitable for most modern electric vehicles.
  2. Charging Power:
    – Check Maximum Power: Ensure that the wallbox can provide at least the power required by the vehicle to guarantee fast and efficient charging. Explore options for wallboxes that support different power levels based on your vehicle’s needs.
  3. Compatibility with the Electrical System:
    – Single-phase System: If your system is single-phase, look for a wallbox that supports power between 3.7 kW and 7.4 kW.
    – Three-phase System: For three-phase systems, opt for wallboxes that offer higher power, up to 22 kW or more, depending on the model’s specifications.
  4. Electrical Meter Capacity:
    – Check Meter Capacity: Make sure the electrical meter can handle the additional load from the wallbox. Check the total available power and consider if an upgrade to the meter is necessary.
  5. Additional Features:
    – Load Management: Look for wallboxes with features to manage load and prevent electrical overloads.
    – Charging Scheduling: Some models offer the ability to schedule charging to take advantage of more favorable electricity rates.
    – Smart Features: Consider wallboxes with remote control and monitoring via an app for greater convenience and control.
  6. Installation and Placement:
    – Space and Environmental Conditions: Ensure you have enough space for installing the wallbox in a convenient location. Consider whether it will be installed indoors, outdoors, or in a location exposed to weather elements, and choose a wallbox with adequate environmental protection.

By carefully evaluating these factors, you can choose the most suitable wallbox for your needs, ensuring safe and efficient charging of your electric vehicle and avoiding potential issues like the example below.

Malfunctions Reported on Renault Zoe and Tesla

Renault Zoe and Tesla vehicles have encountered some issues related to the management of the “sleep mode” or vehicle suspension. This system is designed to reduce energy consumption by temporarily shutting down certain electronic systems of the car when it is not in use. However, several users have reported problems where the vehicle fails to wake up properly from this mode, remaining “stuck” or unresponsive to wake-up commands.

Causes of the Problem

  • Sleep and Wake Management: The issue is often caused by a malfunction in communication between the vehicle’s various modules during the transition from sleep mode to restart.
  • 12V Battery Issues: The 12V auxiliary battery, which powers the electronic systems while the car is in sleep mode, may discharge faster than expected or be defective, preventing the vehicle from waking up correctly.
  • Bugs Caused by Updates: Sometimes, software updates can cause issues with sleep mode, preventing the car from waking up as it should. In these cases, the vehicle may remain stuck until a manual reset or technical intervention is performed.
