Wallbox Pulsar Plus — UK Multi-Vehicle Charger Review 2026

Why pick the Wallbox Pulsar Plus?

Wallbox is a Spanish manufacturer that specialised in compact tethered chargers. The Pulsar Plus is their UK home unit — among the smallest tethered chargers on the OZEV-approved list at 166 × 163 × 82 mm. The myWallbox app supports multi-vehicle scheduling, prioritisation, and per-user billing — useful for households with two EVs alternating on the same charger, or shared-driveway scenarios.

For renters and flat owners with limited mounting space who want a tethered cable (no faff of plugging the cable into the charger every time), the Pulsar Plus is the most space-efficient OZEV-approved option.

Strengths

• Smallest tethered OZEV-approved unit: 166 × 163 × 82 mm
• Multi-vehicle app: assign different vehicles, set per-vehicle priorities, track usage separately
• Tethered cable: 5 m or 7 m option, no need to handle the cable from the vehicle each time
• Cheapest tier: £799 fitted, ties with Ohme and Easee
• Power Boost feature: optional dynamic load management with current sensor — modulates charging to never trip the main fuse, useful if you have other high-load appliances on the same supply

Weaknesses

• Octopus Intelligent Go integration: compatible (manual schedule), not native dynamic — Ohme is better here
• Wi-Fi only connectivity: no built-in 4G backup. If your home Wi-Fi drops, scheduled charging can interrupt
• App polish vs. Ohme: myWallbox app is functional and feature-rich but less smooth than Ohme's UI
• UK installer support: good but not as extensive as Pod Point's network

Where Wallbox wins

• Multi-vehicle households — two or three EVs sharing one charger; the app handles per-vehicle scheduling and priority
• Tethered preference — you don't want to handle a separate cable every charging session
• Tight mounting locations — narrow porches, corner installations
• Shared-driveway flat installations — multiple residents take turns; app billing identifies usage per user
• High-load homes — Power Boost current-sensing prevents tripping the main fuse
