Both are premium J1772 smart chargers, and they win on different axes. Buy the ChargePoint Home Flexfor amperage adjustable up to 50 amps, a mature app, and the largest public network in North America — usually for less money. Buy the Wallbox Pulsar Plus if wall space is tight and you want the full 48 amps in one of the smallest boxes made.
This is a comparison of two upper-tier units that a careful buyer cross-shops. Neither is a value pick; the question is which premium strength you actually need. We compile published specs and owner reports and do the math here rather than bench-testing.
Speed
The ChargePoint edges it: it is adjustable up to 50 ampshardwired, versus the Wallbox's fixed 48. The gap is small and only matters on a capable circuit with a car that accepts the current. Both cap at 40 amps as plug-in units, and both are at their best hardwired. Charge rate should not decide this.
Size vs adjustability
This is the real split. The Wallbox is one of the smallest 48-amp chargers made— the pick when the wall is crowded or you want the least obtrusive box. The ChargePoint is a larger enclosure but trades that for app-set amperage from 16 to 50, adapting to whatever breaker you install. If footprint is your constraint, the Wallbox; if you want one unit that flexes to any circuit, the ChargePoint.
App, network and support
The ChargePoint is the stronger software-and-support story: a mature, well-regarded app, responsive support, and one account that spans home and the largest public network in North America. The Wallbox's app has historically drawn more owner complaints than its hardware, with fussy setup. If you want the smoother connected experience, the ChargePoint is ahead here.
Price and value
Notably, the ChargePoint usually costs lessthan the Wallbox while offering the network and the adjustable amperage — so the Wallbox's premium is essentially buying its compact size. If you do not specifically need the small footprint, the ChargePoint is both cheaper and more flexible, which makes it the better all-round buy for most people.
The one-line split: the ChargePoint is cheaper, adjustable, and network-connected; the Wallbox is the small-wall specialist. Unless footprint is a real constraint, the ChargePoint wins on value and flexibility.
The verdict
For most buyers, the ChargePoint Home Flexis the smarter premium pick — adjustable to 50 amps, a better app and network, usually at a lower price. Choose the Wallbox Pulsar Plus specifically when a compact footprint matters most and you will pay a premium for 48 amps in the smallest box. Both are capable; see them against the field in our home charger roundup and the 48-amp roundup.
