“One of the most commonly cited concerns for prospective EV drivers is access to EV charging, especially for those who do not live in detached houses. Wallbox and the State of Washington have a shared commitment of ensuring that chargers are deployed across all use cases, including multifamily housing, to ensure that benefits of going electric are accessible to all,” said Erik Fogelberg, General Manager of Wallbox North America. “We are excited to partner alongside the Department, and our partners, to deliver best in class charging solutions, including installation through COIL, across 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.
