In addition to the committed power (e.g., 3, 6, 10 kW), it is necessary to assess whether the system already has adequate protection systems. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vehicle compatibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is essential to know <strong>the specifications of<\/strong> your car&#8217;s <strong>on-board charger<\/strong>. <strong>Not all cars can accept three-phase charging<\/strong>: many plug-in hybrids and some full-electric models have only single-phase chargers. In such cases, a three-phase wallbox offers no tangible benefits, unless you are planning to change your vehicle. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Smart functionality and dynamic management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The<strong> latest generation of home and business<\/strong> recharging devices incorporate a range of <strong>smart functions<\/strong> that are increasingly in demand:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remote control via app<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Programming charging time slots<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Energy consumption monitoring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integration with photovoltaic systems (wallbox with photovoltaics)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User authentication via RFID<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dynamic Load Management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latter function, which is particularly relevant for avoiding overloads, allocates available energy between the car and household consumers in real time.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Place of installation and degree of protection of wallboxes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The installation environment directly conditions the technical choice. For <strong>outdoor<\/strong> installations, it is essential that the device have an adequate <strong>IP rating<\/strong> (minimum IP55), ensuring resistance to rain, dust, moisture and temperature changes. <strong>Outdoor<\/strong> versions should also have cables and components that are resistant to UV light and accidental mechanical impacts.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/silla.industries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/come-scegliere-wallbox-giusta-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"How to choose the right wallbox\" class=\"wp-image-20488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/silla.industries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/come-scegliere-wallbox-giusta-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/silla.industries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/come-scegliere-wallbox-giusta-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/silla.industries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/come-scegliere-wallbox-giusta-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/silla.industries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/come-scegliere-wallbox-giusta-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/silla.industries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/come-scegliere-wallbox-giusta.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wallbox installation and service: aspects too often overlooked<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Professional wallbox installation: why it is crucial<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a device that requires specific skills for a compliant installation. <strong>Turning to unqualified installers exposes you to risks of malfunction, warranty voiding and electrical accidents.<\/strong> The best manufacturers offer <em>turnkey packages<\/em> including: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Technical inspection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verification of the system and loads<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Installation by licensed technicians<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certified testing and commissioning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>After-sales support and extended warranty<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good wallbox must be supported by <strong>responsive, in-language, and knowledgeable customer service<\/strong>. <strong>The reliability of the wallbox over time depends not only on the hardware, but on the availability of service, firmware updates, spare parts, and technical support.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Italian manufacturer Silla Industries offers extended warranty packages of up to 5 years, including quick wallbox replacement in case of failure<\/strong>.

A 22 kW wallbox requires a suitable three-phase supply (typically from at least 11 kW and up) and a consistent energy supply contract. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ignoring the specifications of the car&#8217;s on-board charger<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Every electric vehicle is equipped with an<\/strong><em>On Board Charger (OBC<\/em>), <strong>which determines the maximum power at which alternating current<\/strong> (AC) <strong>charging can occur<\/strong>. If your car\u2019s charger is limited to 7.4 kW single-phase, you will not be able to take advantage of the higher power outputs offered by an 11 kW or 22 kW wallbox. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Relying on unqualified installers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The installation of a wallbox is not a trivial task and requires the intervention of licensed professionals<\/strong> with specific skills in the electrical field and particularly in the design of charging systems. Improvised or uncertified installers can make mistakes in installation, differential protection or configuration of dedicated lines, with consequences both in terms of safety and performance. Moreover, <strong>only a certified installer can issue a Declaration of Conformity<\/strong>, an essential document in case of inspections, insurance or tax deductions.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Underestimating the importance of certifications, protections and technical assistance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A wallbox <\/strong>is a power device that operates continuously in direct contact with the electrical system. For this reason <strong>it must comply with European and international standards<\/strong> (such as CE, IEC 61851, EN 62196) and <strong>integrate appropriate protections <\/strong>(type A differential with DC detection, overvoltage, short circuit), and <strong>offer reliable after-sales service<\/strong>.  Choosing devices that lack official certification or are of uncertain origin exposes you to the risk of malfunctions, damage to the system and civil liability in the event of an accident. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>One wallbox is not worth the other: here&#8217;s why to choose wisely<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The wallbox is a long-term investment, affecting the safety, efficiency, and quality of the charging experience<\/strong>. Choosing an advanced solution, installed by professionals and supported by solid after-sales service, means building a home or business infrastructure ready for the e-mobility of the future. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Prism by Silla Industries is the result of careful design, oriented to durability, smart integration and maximum compatibility.<\/strong> A wallbox designed to accompany every user in the energy transition, with the security of a reliable, certified and Italian product. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/silla.industries\/gamma-prism\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn about Prism from Silla Industries<\/a> and request a no-obligation consultation to discover the perfect configuration for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this guide we look at all the factors to consider when choosing the right wallbox for your charging needs, home or business.<a href=\"https:\/\/silla.industries\/en\/scegliere-migliore-wallbox-2026\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span>Continue reading<\/span><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">2026 &#8211;
