Volkswagen is unveiling today a new home charging station wallbox, which is going to be available to purchase way ahead of the release of the ID.3 electric car.

VW doesn’t want to only rely on third-party home charging station manufacturers for its upcoming electric vehicle push.

The German automaker has dozens of electric vehicles coming in the next few years and those are going to need home charging solutions.

VW’s solution is the ‘ID.Charger wallbox’.

They will offer them a range of 3 wallboxes with an 11 kW capability and different connectivity features starting at €399 ($440 USD).

Here’s what the VW ID.Charger looks like:

Here are all the different versions of the VW ID.Charger:

ID. Charger The basic version priced at €399 offers a high-quality and attractively-priced charging solution. The simple operation, fixed Type 2 cable and a charging capacity of up to 11 kW make home charging very convenient. The modern design fits perfectly with the new ID.3. In addition, the compact and robust wallbox also features integrated DC fault current protection for maximum safety along with simple, cost-efficient installation.
