Sit back and save £1,074 per year*: The Loxone Wallbox Tree & Air allows for fully automated control of charging power, with a range between 1.38 and 7.4 kW – so that you really do charge your car up for free! Further to this, due to its modularity, the system has great expandability – making it flexible and easily extendable with numerous functions.
The new Loxone Wallbox can be seamlessly integrated into your Loxone energy management system, via Plug & Play and with just a few clicks.
Thanks to the recently released updates for the Loxone Config & App and especially the Energy Manager. The charging power of the Wallbox can be automatically regulated between 1.38 and 7.4 kW depending on the PV surplus. This means that even with only a low solar yield, you can fill up your car for free with 100% solar power.
As we all know people from the UK are known for and love talking about the weather but you won’t have to in relation to charging your car, as it is all fully automated by the mode you choose. If you need to charge your car in a short time period then the full charging power can be used, including mains power. Or you can go the other way if you have a lot of time then you can charge your car exclusively on solar yield. This is all thanks to the five freely definable charging modes, that you can easily configure for your own usage and application.
Due to this integrated expansion module, you can expand the functionality of your Loxone Wallbox with the implementation of an item from our Touch family**.
**The touch device is not included in the standard purchae of the Wallbox.
An example of the use of an NFC Code Touch, integrated into the Wallbox, is that you can quickly and easily implement user or PIN based access.
The Touch Pure can be implemented to for example, control the lighting of your garage or open the garage door.
The Touch Pure Flex can be used for the easy selection of different charging profiles, for example.
Expert Tip: Thanks to the integrated expansion module, you can easily expand your Loxone Wallbox with a Touch Pure Flex, which provides a huge range of additional functions. This configuration, using our recommendations, is perfect for the easy operation of your charge management.
Of course, you can also configure your Touch Pure Flex yourself and adapt it to your individually needs.
Thanks to great automated controllability between 1.38 and 7.4 kW, the Loxone Wallbox allows you to charge your electric car with 100% solar power even with a very low solar yield. Saving you money because this electricity would have otherwise been drawn from the grid.
The wallbox is therefore an investment that pays for itself in a short period of time. As the following calculation shows:
Mileage: 10,000 miles per year
Consumption per 100 miles: 31.6 kWh (316 Wh per mile)
Cost per kWh grid purchase: £0.34
Degree of self-sufficiency: up to 90 %, including charging an electric car, in a building automated with Loxone
10,000 miles per year x 0.316 kWh per mile x £0.34
= £1074 saved on electricity cost per year

We can also now confirm that a 1/3-phase 16A option is also available to pre-order on the UK webshop! This version is capable of dynamic charging from 1.38kW to 11kW (3 phase) or 3.7kW (1 phase).
