Wallbox Supernova DC Charger: Comprehensive Testing Insights

In our in-depth evaluation of the Wallbox Supernova DC Charger, we examined a range of critical parameters to assess its performance and functionality. One of the key aspects we scrutinized was its compatibility and adherence to industry standards, with a particular focus on OCPP 1.6 support, connector count, and CCS (Combined Charging System) capabilities. In this article, we delve into the results of these tests to provide a clear understanding of the Wallbox Supernova's capabilities.

OCPP 1.6 Support

OCPP, or Open Charge Point Protocol, is a critical standard for communication between Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) and Central Systems. It ensures seamless interoperability and efficient data exchange. Our testing found that the Wallbox Supernova DC Charger fully supports OCPP 1.6, meeting the industry's communication standards. This is a significant advantage, as it allows the charger to be integrated into a network of charging stations and central management systems with ease.

Testing Pass Rate

During our rigorous testing, the Wallbox Supernova DC Charger demonstrated excellent performance, achieving an impressive 12 out of 12 test parameters successfully. This high pass rate underscores the reliability and robustness of the charger. It's a testament to Wallbox's commitment to delivering a product that meets or exceeds industry benchmarks.

Connector Count: A Capacity of 2

The Wallbox Supernova DC Charger is equipped with dual connectors, which means it can serve two electric vehicles simultaneously. This capacity makes it an ideal solution for locations where multiple vehicles require charging simultaneously, such as in commercial settings or multi-vehicle households. The ability to serve two vehicles at once not only maximizes efficiency but also minimizes wait times for users.

CCS (Combined Charging System) Compatibility

The CCS, or Combined Charging System, is a universal fast charging standard that accommodates both DC fast charging and AC charging. Our tests revealed that the Wallbox Supernova DC Charger is compatible with CCS, which is essential for supporting a wide range of electric vehicles on the market. This compatibility ensures that users with CCS-equipped EVs can conveniently and efficiently charge their vehicles using the Supernova Charger.

Wallbox Supernova DC Charger shines in terms of its compatibility with industry standards and its robust performance. With support for OCPP 1.6, an impressive testing pass rate, dual connectors for simultaneous charging, and CCS compatibility, it stands as a versatile and reliable choice for EV charging. Whether you're a business looking to provide fast and efficient charging services or a homeowner seeking to charge multiple electric vehicles conveniently, the Wallbox Supernova DC Charger demonstrates its capability to meet these needs effectively.
