Wallbox launches bidirectional home EV charger with blackout backup

Quasar 2 allows homeowners to charge and discharge their EV, home, and export to the grid. It also enables the use of a charged EV battery to isolate and power the home during blackouts.

You’re kidding me, right?!?! I literally just received this right now before reading your post.

It wont be available for a while....

I feel like when the media quotes misleading quotes like “The average American experienced more than eight hours of power interruption in 2020.” They are doing the public a disservice.

I understand that the writer prolly doesn’t realize.

My DA said that the Lucid charger will be available by the end of the month. Not sure how much we should pad it by given Lucid timeframes. It’s close enough that I’m going to use EA until it comes out.

That’s only few days away. I need to review Amazon.com return policy. Maybe that’s why QMeric recommended electric company hasn’t replied me????

At least to my eye, it looks nicer than Lucid's unit. Nice to see that this is happening.

It’s a tough decision, but I know I would kick myself if I ordered a regular charger now and saw the Lucid charger roll out shortly after. You may want to check with your DA to see if he/she corroborates the end of July timeline. I would love to hear it from another source.
