Kann ich eine Wallbox an eine normale Steckdose anschliessen?

Can I connect a wallbox to a normal socket?

This is one of the most common questions that arises in connection with charging stations for electric cars. The answer depends on the specific device that is used. While the traditional wall charging station or "wall box" is designed for permanent installation with a direct connection to the power grid and requires appropriate protection, the JUICE BOOSTER 2 and JUICE BOOSTER 3 air are flexible solutions that make it possible to charge an electric car safely and efficiently using a normal household socket.

JUICE BOOSTER 2 and JUICE BOOSTER 3 air: Safety and flexibility

The JUICE BOOSTER 2 and JUICE BOOSTER 3 air belong to the ICCB (In-Cable Control Box) category, a portable charging unit that can be easily and safely connected to a standard socket with an appropriate safety adapter plug. This means that there is no need for a permanent installation to charge an electric vehicle at home.

A key advantage of the JUICE BOOSTER is the patented JUICE Celsius temperature monitoring , which practically eliminates the risk of overheating and thus the risk of fire. The temperature at the socket is continuously monitored. To prevent overheating from occurring in the first place, the system automatically reduces the charging power or shuts down the charging process completely at critical temperatures. This ensures safe use at conventional sockets without causing damage to the house installation or the vehicle.

Safety and comfort – The advantages of the JUICE BOOSTER

  • Safe charging at household sockets: Thanks to the patented temperature monitoring specifically for operation at normal sockets, the JUICE BOOSTER is equivalent to or even better than many permanently installed wall boxes in terms of safety.
  • Maximum flexibility: Unlike stationary wallboxes, which require a fixed installation and protection, the JUICE BOOSTER offers the flexibility to be used anywhere there is a household or industrial socket. This makes it ideal for charging on the go or in rented apartments where the installation of a fixed wallbox is not possible.
  • Fast and efficient: The JUICE BOOSTER charges your vehicle with a power that can be up to 22 kW depending on the model and adapter, making it an effective and fast solution for charging at home or on the go.

Fixed or mobile wallbox: Which is better?

The choice between a conventional wall charging station or the mobile wallbox JUICE BOOSTER 2 or 3 air depends on your individual needs:

  • Permanently installed wallbox: If your charging point is to be permanently installed in one location, a classic wallbox such as the JUICE CHARGER me 3 offers greater scalability and connectivity for e.g. integration into smart home systems or PV systems.
  • JUICE BOOSTER: However, if you value maximum flexibility and the ability to take your charger with you wherever you go, the JUICE BOOSTER is the ideal choice. It not only offers safety and convenience, but also the freedom to charge virtually anywhere in the world without the need for a permanent installation.

Conclusion

With the JUICE BOOSTER 2 and JUICE BOOSTER 3 air, electric car owners can easily and safely charge at normal household sockets without having to forego the safety and flexibility of a traditional wallbox. Thanks to the innovative JUICE Celsius temperature monitoring, the risk of overheating and fire is practically eliminated. For many users, these portable chargers even offer greater flexibility and functionality than stationary wallboxes.
