Liberty Plugins, Inc., developer of electric vehicle (EV) charge station management solutions since 2009, in partnership with Wallbox, manufacturer of EV charging hardware, announces the launch of the U.S.-made Liberty CodeConnect Wallbox Charger. A managed charging solution that fuses the Wallbox Pulsar Plus EV charger and Liberty’s patented CodeConnect encryption technology, the Liberty CodeConnect Wallbox Charger enables the essential management features of access control and payment without the need for internet connection. Available in two variants, 40A and 48A, the Liberty CodeConnect Wallbox Charger is offered at a price of $1,495 per unit and a flat subscription fee of $9/month. A promotional discount is available through August 15.
Developed in close collaboration between the two companies, the new product combines Wallbox’s world-class industrial design with Liberty’s patented U.S.-made CodeConnect encryption technology, resulting in a simple, intuitive user interface that meets the latest standards for safety and compliance. The Liberty CodeConnect Wallbox Charger delivers managed EV charging capabilities to markets in North America that have traditionally been inaccessible due to high upfront costs, security objections, or internet connectivity challenges.
Key system and operational features of the Liberty CodeConnect Wallbox Charger include:
- Lowest-cost solution for managed charging: No hidden charges, surprise fees, or unnecessary upgrades – delivering the greatest value for the most important charge management features.
- Simple access management: Operators can sell or distribute temporary time-based session codes to drivers in their organization, or to the public.
- No network or gateway setup required: All CodeConnect chargers are ready to deploy out of the box, simplifying installation and reducing costs.
“Value, transparency, and customer service are the core values of Liberty Plugins, guiding the development and implementation of all our products, technologies, and services,” says Kristen Helsel, CEO of Liberty Plugins. “The Liberty CodeConnect Wallbox Charger represents the natural evolution of our product development: high-quality, intuitively managed charging without the exorbitant fees and high lifetime cost of ownership imposed by other providers. We’re thrilled to have a partner in Wallbox, a world leader in charging equipment, who shares our vision of making EV charging accessible and affordable. In a time where businesses and organizations are facing funding cuts and other challenges, the Liberty CodeConnect Wallbox Charger delivers an affordable, simple, and reliable charge station management solution.”
“At Wallbox, we believe that EV charging should be simple, smart, and accessible to everyone,” says Esteve Dolsa, general manager of North America. “The Liberty CodeConnect Wallbox Charger demonstrates the power of innovation and collaboration: by combining Wallbox’s award-winning Pulsar Plus hardware with Liberty’s Code Connect technology, we’re enabling a new level of flexibility and affordability for customers.”
The Liberty CodeConnect Wallbox Charger makes it possible to sell charge sessions without the need for a local network connection. Remote parks and rural places, areas that typically lack a reliable internet connection, can now benefit from access control and paid charging sessions. Secure sites such as corporate facilities, military bases, and government buildings can implement managed EV charging without increasing their exposure to cyber threats by connecting new devices to internal networks. Cost-sensitive businesses, housing developments, and organizations can benefit from managed charging without the expensive subscriptions or unnecessarily complex features.
Liberty CodeConnect Wallbox Chargers are available for pre-order now, with shipments beginning in August. Additionally, new customers can receive a special promotional discount rate between now and August 15.
