Wallare Park is an AC charge point for electric vehicles designed with one goal: making it profitable to electrify every space in a car park, not just a few.
It came out of a specific challenge. In 2023, Barcelona Serveis Municipals (B:SM), which runs the city’s municipal car parks, launched a public innovation tender: it needed a low-cost, easy-to-install charge point for every space. At the time only 7% of its 11,898 spaces had charging, and with the technology on the market going further was not viable. We won the challenge. Today 150 Wallare points are in service on Barcelona’s public network (Endolla Barcelona).
What makes it different
Most chargers are built by putting other manufacturers’ modules into a box: metering, communications, protection, contactor, all wired by hand. Every module adds a connection, an assembly step, a failure point and a cost.
Wallare is a complete re-engineering:
- One board. All the power and control electronics on a single board designed for automated assembly.
- A wireless mesh. Points talk to each other and to a single gateway per car park. No data cabling to every space.
- 24-hour service. The cover comes off in one piece with the electronics; the base, with the supply and protections, stays on the wall. A faulty space is back in service the next day.
The result: 35% lower cost per electrified space and 50% less installation material and time. More detail in Inside Wallare.
Open standards, ready for what comes next
Every point is an OCPP 2.x station that integrates with whatever management system the owner chooses. Plug & Charge (ISO 15118-2) is available today: the vehicle identifies itself when plugged in, no card or app. And Wallare is ready for bidirectional V2G charging under ISO 15118-20, the standard AFIR requires from 1 January 2027. We present it on 3 November at Smart City Expo.
One product, ten kinds of customer
The same technology solves different problems depending on who installs it. These are the ten profiles we designed Wallare for, with a dedicated article for each:
| Customer | What they gain |
|---|---|
| Public authorities | More electrified spaces for the same budget |
| Car park owners | Electrify the whole car park and make it pay |
| Hotels | Charging billed at checkout on the room key card |
| Residential buildings | One shared installation, each resident on their own tariff |
| Fleets | Every vehicle charged by its departure time |
| Engineering firms and installers | Less site work, more tenders won |
| Hospitals | Charging for staff and visitors that cannot fail |
| Campsites | Attract electric tourists from northern Europe |
| Energy retailers | More energy sold per point |
| Street furniture suppliers | Add EV charging to the catalogue and win more tenders |
