Will it work with my EV?
Yes. The Wallbox Pulsar Plus uses a Type 2 — works with any EV sold in Malaysia, which is the universal standard for every EV officially sold in Malaysia.
Your actual charging speed will depend on the lower of two limits: the charger’s rating and your car’s onboard AC charger (many EVs physically cap AC charging at 7 kW or 11 kW, regardless of how fast the wallbox is).
Will it work with my home?
For most landed homes in Malaysia, you are likely on a single-phase power supply. The 7.4 kW version of the Wallbox Pulsar Plus is perfectly suited for this and provides excellent overnight charging speeds.
Installing the 11 kW or 22 kW version requires a three-phase electrical supply. Even if you have three-phase, your installer must ensure there is enough spare capacity after accounting for heavy appliances like air conditioners and water heaters.
Charging Speed & Overnight Time
For most landed homes in Malaysia, you are likely on a single-phase power supply. The 7.4 kW version of the Wallbox Pulsar Plus is perfectly suited for this and provides excellent overnight charging speeds.
A faster charger is only faster when both your car and home allow it. Most owners charge overnight at 7.4 kW and wake up to a completely full car.
| Power Rating | Est. Speed (km/hr) | 0–100% (60 kWh Battery) |
|---|---|---|
| 7.4 kW (Single-phase) | ~35–40 km/hr | ~8–9 hrs |
| 11 kW (Three-phase) | ~55–60 km/hr | ~5–6 hrs |
| 22 kW (Three-phase) | ~110–120 km/hr | ~3 hrs |

Installation & Safety
The installation matters as much as the wallbox — the installer is half the purchase. A professional setup for the Wallbox Pulsar Plus should include:
- A dedicated EV circuit originating from your distribution board (DB).
- Correctly sized cabling to prevent overheating during continuous maximum-load drawing.
- Proper earthing and surge/circuit protection.
- A pre-installation load assessment to ensure your supply can handle the extra capacity.
- Full testing and compliance with Suruhanjaya Tenaga (Energy Commission) EVCS guidelines.
- Assistance with TNB application (if supply upgrades are needed).
Smart Features
- Scheduled charging — set off-peak hours to save on TNB tariffs
- Energy tracking — monitor daily, weekly, monthly consumption
- Remote start/stop — control from anywhere
- Adjustable charging current — match your home’s available capacity
- Push notifications — charging complete, error alerts
Dynamic Load Balancing
The Wallbox Pulsar Plus supports advanced load balancing (Yes, via Power Boost (with Power Meter accessory)). This monitors your home’s real-time electricity usage and automatically throttles your EV’s charging speed so you don’t trip the main breaker. It allows you to charge as fast as your home safely permits, without ever having to switch off appliances manually.
Cable & Everyday Convenience
Equipped with a tethered type 2, 5m (7m option) connection, you simply pull up and plug in. When deciding where to mount the wallbox, consider your car’s charge port position and whether you prefer nose-in or reverse parking. Ensure the cable reaches comfortably without being stretched tight or causing a trip hazard.
Weather & Durability
Rated at IP54 / IK08, the Wallbox Pulsar Plus is built to handle dust and water splashes. However, for longevity in Malaysia’s intense tropical climate, we strongly recommend mounting it under a car-porch roof or overhang — well away from direct afternoon sun and driving rain.
App User Experience
The Wallbox Pulsar Plus is controlled through the myWallbox App, available on iOS and Android. The app lets you schedule charging sessions, monitor energy usage, adjust power levels, and manage multiple chargers — all from your phone. Note: if your charger is labeled Kineta, it is still a Wallbox product — Kineta is the brand used by Sime Darby, the official distributor of Wallbox chargers in Malaysia.

Only if your home has three-phase supply and enough spare capacity. Most Malaysian landed homes are single-phase, which maxes out at 7.4 kW — still plenty for overnight charging.
Yes. It uses a Type 2 connector, which is the standard for every EV sold in Malaysia. Your actual charging speed depends on the lower of the charger's rating and your car's onboard AC charger (many EVs cap at 7–11 kW).
If you're in a typical landed home, you're almost certainly on single-phase. That means the 7.4 kW Pulsar Plus model. Three-phase is usually found in commercial or newer premium developments — check your TNB meter or ask your installer.
At 7.4 kW, expect roughly 35–40 km of range per hour. A 60 kWh battery goes from 20% to 80% in about 5 hours. Most owners just plug in at night and wake up to a full car.
Expect RM2,800–5,200 fully installed. The charger itself is RM2,000–3,500; installation adds RM800–1,700+ depending on cable run, DB box upgrades, and wiring complexity. Always get at least two quotes.
It's rated IP54 / IK08, which handles splashes and light rain. For an open or semi-covered porch, mounting under the roof overhang is recommended — away from direct rain and afternoon sun.
The Wallbox Pulsar Plus comes with a 3-year product warranty. Installation workmanship warranty is set by your installer — ask before you commit. A good installer will offer at least 12 months on labour.
