Wallbox and COIL and Wallbox subsidiary, announced that, in conjunction with partners Clean and Prosperous Institute and Adopt a Charger, they have secured proposed awards of $25.6 million from the Washington Department of Commerce?s Electric Vehicle Charging Program. The awards, announced as part of the Department?s first round of the program, will be used to deploy Wallbox?s latest AC Level 2 charger, the Pulsar Pro, across 148 multifamily housing properties throughout the state of Washington. The project will utilize Pulsar Pro AC Level 2 chargers, Wallbox?s latest EV charger, designed specifically for commercial and multifamily residential use in the North American market.

Pulsar Pro is equipped with RFID integration and ISO 15118 readiness, ensuring secure and future-ready charging capabilities. The Pulsar Pro stands out for its dynamic power sharing feature, which monitors the building?s power and automatically allocates power to connected EVs, reducing the need for costly upfront electrical infrastructure upgrades and realizing the full value of Washington?s public investments in charging infrastructure. The projects will be designed and installed by COIL in partnership with Resound Energy, a Washington-based energy efficiency contractor, at 148 multifamily housing properties, including 146 Greystar properties.

While multifamily housing traditionally represents a more challenging use case for charging infrastructure deployment, this program showcases the importance of coordinated efforts in delivering EV charging access at scale. Adopt A Charger will also provide consumer education to respective projects for the chargers installed and benefits of electrification for the multifamily properties in order to support electric vehicle adoption and easy access to charging. This award is part of a larger $85 million dollars initially announced in February by Washington Governor Jay Inslee and the Washington Department of Commerce, representing the first of two announced rounds of funding dedicated to supporting clean transportation, improving air quality, and ensuring EV charging access for all Washington drivers by addressing key gaps in the state?s light duty charging infrastructure, including multifamily housing, public parking, and fleet and workplace charging.

Allocations were made to applicants through a competitive scoring process that prioritized installations in areas experiencing higher levels of pollution and a scarcity of existing charging access, along with other criteria.
