Notes

The Wallbox Pulsar Plus is a Level 2 home charger used daily, so reliability and safety electronics matter as much as raw power. Most failures are in the high-current switching hardware (contactors/relays), the cable/connector, or internal power supply and communications modules.

Repair is usually the best move when the unit is relatively new and the fix is a cable/connector replacement, relay/serviceable component, or a firmware/communications issue-especially if installation labor is already sunk. Replace is often safer when there are repeated ground-fault trips, overheating, or water intrusion, or when parts availability is poor.

Price referenced from Wallbox's shop listing; lifespan uses a conservative "typical" Level 1/2 charger expectation.
