Wallbox Power Meter Review
The Wallbox Power Meter is more than just a smart accessory—it’s a solution for EV owners who want optimized charging that works seamlessly with their home’s existing electrical setup. With features like dynamic load balancing and solar charging, it offers both convenience and efficiency, making it a strong choice for households focused on maximizing energy use and saving costs in the long run. For EV enthusiasts and solar-powered homes alike, the Wallbox Power Meter represents an ideal addition to a future-focused EV charging setup.
Why We Recommend It
We recommend the Wallbox Power Meter for its functionality, reliability, and affordability compared to its competitors such as the Emporia Vue Energy Monitor, the Wallbox Power Meter complements this line perfectly. In homes with limited panel capacity, where full-charging speeds are difficult to achieve without exceeding safe limits, the Power Meter’s power boost ability to dynamically adjust based on real-time household power usage is invaluable. For users looking to add smart energy management to their EV setup, especially in homes with solar systems, the Wallbox Power Meter eco-smart configurations provide an excellent balance of functionality and affordability.
Homeowners with a 100-amp electrical panel seeking to integrate solar EV charging often face costly upgrades. The Wallbox Power Meter eliminates the need for panel upgrades, automatically managing power consumption in real time. It intelligently throttles power usage when demand increases and boosts charging when capacity allows, optimizing energy efficiency without tripping your circuit breaker.
Wallbox Power Meter Installation
When we planned on installing the Wallbox Power Meter, we had two options, to install the power meter inside the electrical panel or install it outside the main electrical panel, due to spacing in our electrical panel which has other solar EV charging accessories and lots of feeder wires and circuit breakers, we decided to install the Wallbox power meter outside the main electrical panel and housed it in a Mollom distribution box with bus bars and din rail, the enclosure measures 6.5 x 7.87 x 3.94 inches enough to comfortable accommodate and install the Wallbox Power Meter and its wiring. 
Tools Required
To complete the installation, we used the following professional tools:
- Torx T20 Screwdriver: For driving T20 Torx screws.
- Torx T9 Screwdriver: For driving T9 Torx screws, are used in specific components.
- Cutting Pliers: Essential for cutting wires and cables to the required lengths.
- Wire Strippers: Used for removing insulation from electrical wires to ensure proper connections.
- Philips Screwdriver: A standard tool for driving Phillips head screws.
Having the right tools on hand made the installation process smoother and more efficient, allowing us to properly integrate the Wallbox Power Meter with the existing electrical setup. After installation of the Wallbox power meter, we connected the power meter to the Wallbox charger using a low-voltage feeder wire which was easier than integrating the power meter to our electrical panel. The last step of the installation involves configuring the power meter using the wall box app, we recommend first updating the application, and your charger firmware, and limiting the current depending on your EV charging requirements and your electrical panel support, depending on your configurations you can use the application to configure for power boost or eco-smart boost (Full-Green or Eco Mode), charging automatically starts after 2 minutes of configuring your system.
