Wallbox Wins 2025 Green GOOD DESIGN™ Award for Quasar 2’s Energy Management Innovation

At Wallbox, we truly believe the most powerful innovations are those that help shape a better world.

Which is why we’re proud to share that Quasar 2’s Energy Management Solution (EMS) has been named a winner of the 2025 Green GOOD DESIGN™ Award, in the Green Transportation category. 

Presented by The European Centre and The Chicago Athenaeum, this prestigious global award honors the most impactful examples of sustainable design, and we’re honored to see our work recognized alongside pioneering solutions from 30 nations and leading Fortune 500 companies.

More Than Movement

This award celebrates the software-driven intelligence behind Quasar 2 – the smart algorithms, bidirectional logic, and grid integration that allow EVs to do more than just move. They help power homes. Support the grid. And optimize when and how energy is used.

While Quasar 2’s EMS lives behind the scenes, its impact is designed to be felt everywhere. From reducing peak energy demand to enabling automatic home backup during outages and maximizing solar self-consumption, it’s a future-forward approach to EV ownership that treats electric vehicles as part of the energy ecosystem, not just a means of transportation.

Key Features Driving Smarter Energy

Quasar 2’s EMS puts intelligent energy control in your hands:

• Vehicle-to-Home (V2H): Use your EV battery to power your home, whether during an outage or as part of your daily energy routine.
• Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G): Support the grid and unlock potential incentives by exporting excess energy when demand is high.
• Dynamic Load Management: Charge efficiently while balancing overall household energy use to avoid overloads.
• Solar Charging Integration: Optimize your savings and sustainability by charging your EV with solar energy.
• Backup Power Mode: In the event of a blackout, Quasar 2 automatically detects the outage, activates the Power Recovery Unit (PRU) to isolate your home from the grid, and begins discharging your EV battery to keep your home powered – all in seconds. Just sit back and let the system handle it.

Innovation Beyond the Hardware

Though we’re proud of Quasar 2’s hardware design, this award recognizes something deeper: a complete rethinking of what an EV charger can be – an intelligent home energy solution that transforms your EV’s battery into a reliable power source for your home.

While the Green Transportation category may suggest movement, the real innovation lies in how Quasar 2 reimagines the charger as a central player in the energy ecosystem. Its Energy Management System (EMS) features offer a glimpse into the future – where energy is dynamic, distributed, and deeply connected to how we live and drive.

With bidirectional charging, users gain more than convenience; they gain control, resilience, and sustainability, all through a single, intuitive interface.

Shaping the Sustainable Standard

Since 1950, the GOOD DESIGN™ program has stood among the world’s most respected design accolades. Its Green edition, now in its 17th year, highlights innovations that don’t only look good but, more importantly, drive real environmental progress.

Which is why to be recognized by this program is more than a design achievement. It affirms that our vision for a cleaner, smarter energy future is not just possible – it’s essential. 

Moving Forward

This is just one step in our journey to transform the way the world charges and uses energy. From homes to highways, we’re committed to continue creating solutions that don’t just meet sustainability standards; they help set them.

And to everyone working alongside us to build this greener future – this win is as much yours as it is ours.
