charging and energy solutions
With AWS compute powering its software

by 70%
At AWS re:Invent, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an
Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced that
Wallbox (NYSE: WBX), a leading provider of residential and public
electric-vehicle (EV) charging devices and energy-management
solutions, has migrated its entire information technology (IT)
infrastructure, including design and manufacturing platforms,
device and grid-management systems, and customer-facing
applications, to AWS. Worldwide, Wallbox is using AWS’s broad and
deep set of capabilities—including analytics, compute, containers,
databases, and security—to research, develop, manufacture, and
deploy its EV chargers and intelligent charging infrastructure.
Running on AWS, Wallbox is developing innovative smart charging
products that will help accelerate the adoption of electric cars
and enable customers to return excess energy to the grid.

Running on AWS enables Wallbox to increase operational
efficiencies, improve analytics, and provide better customer
service around the world. The software powering Pulsar Plus,
Wallbox’s residential compact charging system, uses Amazon EC2 Spot
Instances and AWS Graviton2 to provide scalable and cost-efficient
computer capacity to power its software development, reducing
overall IT costs by 70%. With Amazon Kinesis, a service that
collects, processes, and analyzes real-time streaming data, Wallbox
can collect data and monitor the status of its public and
residential EV chargers in 113 countries, analyze the data, and use
the insights to adjust and optimize settings for faster and more
efficient charging. In addition, Wallbox will use AWS machine
learning services in its manufacturing facilities in China, Europe,
and North America to identify potential mechanical failures and
avoid downtime, as well as to gain insights from sudden changes in
sales patterns or customer usage to inform production forecasts,
improve capacity planning, and make key business decisions.
“EV adoption plays a key role in helping us transition toward a
world powered by renewable energy,” said Enric Asunción, CEO and
co-founder of Wallbox. “AWS provides the underlying infrastructure
we need to develop and globally deliver intelligent charging
infrastructure and energy-management solutions, as well as the
ability to open new pathways that harness the flow of energy
through the grid. Like AWS, we believe in putting our customers at
the center of everything we do, so we can change the way the world
accesses, uses, and shares energy.”
“Wallbox is an example of a company that started by working
backward from the customer to make the EV charging experience
simple for consumers,” said Tanuja Randery, managing director, EMEA
at AWS. “As EV charging gains momentum around the world, AWS is
providing Wallbox with the insights and predictive capabilities it
needs to scale its business. Using AWS’s vast portfolio of
services, Wallbox can continue to innovate new smart charging
solutions that will help our world achieve a more sustainable
future.”
