Are you asking yourself: Wallbox or mobile charging station - which suits your everyday life better? In this comparison, we show mobile wallbox vs permanently installed wallbox in a practical check: costs, installation, flexibility and safety. How to find the best wallbox alternative for at home and on the road.

The wallbox for stationary charging

The stationary wallbox is permanently mounted on the wall, ideal for garages or parking spaces. Advantage: Plannable charging - e.g. convenient overnight or during the day on company premises. However, please note: Installation costs for a specialist electrical company are incurred; the wallbox requires high voltage/hard wiring. An additional cable is required for charging on the move. In short: The wallbox makes sense for clearly planned routes and fixed charging points.

The mobile wallbox for flexible charging at any location

A mobile wallbox such as NRGkick is portable and can be used at many power sources thanks to plug attachments/adapters - whether at home, in the office or when traveling. You charge wherever there is power - without any installation. Integrated safety mechanisms protect against overloading and heat, so you can charge safely wherever you are. No additional equipment is required for charging on the move. If you want to charge in one place for a longer period of time (e.g. at home), you can simply leave NRGkick plugged in.

Charge your electric car at any location with the plug attachments from NRGkick.

The advantages of a mobile loading unit

The charging infrastructure is not the same everywhere in Europe - but there are sockets almost everywhere. But this is just one of the points where the mobile wallbox scores as an alternative:

  • Costs: Lower overall costs, as no installation or additional equipment is required for charging on the move.
  • Flexibility: Charging at almost any power source - practical when moving house, on vacation or on a business trip.
  • Transportation: Compact in the trunk, fast from A to B.

Wallbox or mobile charging station: these are the differences

Wallbox:

  • Permanently installed, professional installation with additional costs
  • Charging only at the installation site
  • Often suitable for integration with smart home systems

Mobile wallbox (NRGkick):

  • Charging at any suitable power source
  • No installation required
  • Integrated protection mechanisms, safe charging everywhere
  • Easy to transport
  • Smart functions via app

Conclusion of the comparison: the NRGkick mobile wallbox can do everything that a stationary wallbox can do - plus mobility.

Wallbox or mobile charging station? Which is the right choice?

If you drive a lot, are often on the road for business/private reasons or live in regions with less infrastructure, the mobile wallbox is an advantage. Thanks to the adapter, you can charge at standard power sources and become less dependent on public charging stations. A stationary wallbox is suitable if you regularly charge at the same location and your daily routine is easy to plan. With NRGkick, you get a practical wallbox alternative that combines both: full AC charging and maximum flexibility. You can also use NRGkick like a stationary wallbox: with the NRGkick wall socket.

Wallbox or mobile charging station: the cost factors

A direct comparison shows that the mobile wallbox is often cheaper because there are no installation costs and no additional equipment is required for charging on the move. NRGkick already includes the necessary functions/hardware - with many wallboxes, a suitable charging cable has to be purchased separately. This makes the mobile solution an attractive wallbox alternative with a strong price-performance ratio.

Charge your electric car flexibly anywhere with NRGkick.

Conclusion: The mobile wallbox is the most flexible charging option

your freedom of action: flexible, immediately ready for use and safe at any power source - often with a cost advantage over installation. For many drivers, it is therefore the convincing wallbox alternative and the result in the „mobile wallbox vs. wallbox“ comparison is clearly in favor of mobility.
