Not only do wallboxes give you the convenience of charging at home, but they have a host of other great benefits too.

Whilst wall-mounted stations are most common in private homes, stand-alone charging points are great alternatives when wallboxes are not an option or if you wish to change two cars simultaneously.
Ohme charging.
