Barcelona, 28 April 2020 -- Wallbox today announced that its bidirectional charger Quasar has been selected as a finalist for Fast Company’s 2020 World Changing Ideas Awards. The US business magazine recognized Quasar in the Energy category. The bidirectional DC charger also received an honorable mention in the General Excellence and Consumer Products categories. The awards honor the businesses, policies, projects, and concepts that actively contribute to combating the climate crisis, social injustice, or economic inequality. A panel of eminent judges selects winners from a pool of more than 3,000 entries across transportation, education, food, politics, technology, and more. To date, Quasar has received a total of six awards, all recognizing the innovative and disruptive potential of the charger, among them Engadget’s prestigious Best of CES Award in the Transport category. Being the world's first bidirectional charger designed for the home, it not only charges EVs but can also send electricity back to the grid or even power a home. Previously, this bidirectional technology was only available at three times the price in large formats in pilot projects used in fleet depots. Wallbox's team of engineers developed an innovative way to make this technology available for consumers in a sleek and compact size at a significantly lower price. “We firmly believe that Quasar’s bidirectional charging possibility is a critical building block on the road to a world powered by renewable energy,” says Enric Asunción, CEO of Wallbox. “It's an honor for me and the entire Wallbox team that this technology has now been recognized by  Fast Company as a world-changing idea.” Bidirectional charging technology allows the battery of an electric car to serve as a power bank.Having this storage available as an extension of the grid opens up new possibilities for the storage of excess renewable energy.Electricity transferred into the car is no longer confined to the vehicle. In addition to powering the EV, It can be stored in its battery and transferred back into the home or the grid when needed. Wallbox’s bidirectional charger works with a mobile application (iOS and Android) and an energy management platform that makes it easy for the user to control the charger and all its functionalities. It allows the user to easily set parameters of when they want the battery of their electric vehicle to be charged or used to power their home.  Quasar also features advanced facial recognition and gesture control technology, allowing the security and flexibility to share accounts with friends and neighbors. In addition to facial recognition, the charger can also authenticate using Bluetooth proximity, the MyWallbox app, and RFID.  “There seems no better time to recognize organizations that are using their ingenuity, resources, and, in some cases, their scale to tackle society’s biggest problems,” says Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief of  Fast Company. “Our journalists, under the leadership of senior editor Morgan Clendaniel, have uncovered some of the smartest and most inspiring projects of the year.” About the World Changing Ideas Awards World Changing Ideas is one of  Fast Company’s major annual awards programs and is focused on social good, seeking to elevate finished products and brave concepts that make the world better. A panel of judges from across sectors choose winners, finalists, and honorable mentions based on feasibility and the potential for impact. With a goal of awarding ingenuity and fostering innovation,  Fast Company draws attention to ideas with great potential and helps them expand their reach to inspire more people to start working on solving the problems that affect us all.

Barcelona, 10 January 2020 - Wallbox wins four awards in its first participation at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the largest consumer technology event in the world. Among them, the main award presented by Engadget together with the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), owner and organizer of CES. All four awards recognize the Quasar charger as one of the most innovative products of the entire event, being the first two-way DC charger in the world designed for the home. The first prize was awarded by the US publication Electrek, which focuses on the electric mobility sector. In the second case, it was the American publication Newsweek, which presented this award for the first time at the CES, recognizing Wallbox as the best product among those presented at the fair. The third prize was offered by Robb Report, an American publication specializing in lifestyle and luxury goods. Finally, Wallbox received the award for Best Transportation Technology from the American publication Engadget, one of the leading digital publishers in the technology and innovation sector. Wallbox enters the North American market In 2020 Wallbox starts its expansion to the North American market, participating for the first time in CES, where the Spanish company exhibited its range of residential and commercial chargers. The first two products that will be available in North America are the residential chargers Pulsar Plus and the bidirectional charger Quasar. Wallbox's CEO and co-founder Enric Asunción comments: "We are honored by the awards that our Quasar charger received at CES this year. We have been recognized by industry experts competing against the best and biggest players in the automotive sector worldwide. We see this as a strong signal that our commitment to sustainable electric mobility, and the development of products that will help us to become independent from fossil fuels, is right." CTO and co-founder of the company, Eduard Castañeda, adds: "Both our chargers as well as the MyWallbox platform are carefully designed to make charging electric vehicles simple for consumers so that everyone can take full advantage of the possibilities that electric vehicles offer to people, businesses and cities. But with Quasar we go even further. Two-way charging will allow EV batteries to be used to power homes, offices and even return energy to the grid in times of high demand. Until the launch of Quasar, this possibility was more theoretical than practical, since two-way chargers have been very large and expensive." About CES and the Engadget Best of CES Awards Since 1967, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has brought together technology companies from around the world, from startups to large multinationals in all sectors. It is here that many of the most innovative products are presented to the world for the first time. About Quasar Quasar is the world's first two-way DC charger designed for the home. Previously this bidirectional technology was only available at three times the price in very large formats in pilot projects used in fleet depots.

Quasar works with a mobile application (iOS and Android) and an energy management platform that makes it easy for the user to manage. It works in conjunction with the electrical grid and the house's energy management system (thermostat, lights, etc.). Quasar allows to easily set the parameters of when the user wants the battery of his electric vehicle to be used. Quasar also features advanced facial recognition and gesture control technology, allowing the security and flexibility to share accounts with friends and neighbors. In addition to facial recognition, Quasar can also authenticate using Bluetooth proximity, the Wallbox app, and RFID.
