Qobox mini

The main differences lie in charging speed and daily reliability. For one of the most common electric vehicles in France, such as the Peugeot e-208 (approx. 50 kWh usable capacity), a full charge takes about 16 hours using a reinforced socket (3.2 kW). That is too long to complete overnight if the battery is significantly depleted. In contrast, it takes about 7 hours with the 7.4 kW Qobox mini, the most common power level for home use (single-phase), or even 2.5 hours at 22 kW if the property has a three-phase installation. Beyond speed, a reinforced socket offers no consumption tracking and is not designed for intensive daily use: the risks of overheating and premature wear increase with the frequency of charging. The Qobox mini is specifically designed for this purpose: faster, secure charging, an integrated MID meter for accurate and verifiable reimbursement, remote management via the Qovoltis app, and a 2-year warranty with responsive customer support. For fleet-wide deployment, a charging station remains the most reliable and easiest solution to manage over the long term. A reinforced socket is only truly suitable for very occasional use.

Employees can track their energy consumption directly from the Qovoltis app. They can designate charging sessions as professional and send them to your Qockpit dashboard, where you can monitor charging history and cost savings, either per charging station or consolidated across your entire fleet.

A smart charging station like the Qobox mini goes far beyond a simple power outlet: it automatically adjusts its power output based on grid or building availability, optimizes charging during off-peak hours or the most cost-effective times, can be controlled remotely via a mobile app, and offers advanced features such as scheduling and detailed consumption tracking.

Yes. Depending on the version, the Qobox mini has an IP55 rating (tethered cable) or IP54 rating (socket), ensuring resistance to rain, dust, and impacts. It is suitable for all use cases: private homes, corporate parking lots, or semi-public areas such as hotels and retail locations. However, it is not intended for installation on public roads.

The Qobox mini complies with CE standards and the RED directive (electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility), holds IRVE certification (installation by any electrician trained to levels 1 through 3), supports the OCPP 1.6J protocol (supervision), and is Linky-compatible for energy management. It is Origine France Garantie certified, manufactured in the Sarthe region, and includes a MID-certified meter for reliable and verifiable energy measurement, suitable for billing or reimbursement purposes.

Every Qobox mini comes with a 2-year warranty and stays connected 24/7, automatically sending an alert if any anomaly is detected. Our after-sales service provides remote or on-site support, using predictive maintenance to minimize travel and ensure your charging stations remain operational, wherever they are installed.

The landscape of financial incentives has changed: the €500 tax credit for individuals ended on January 1, 2026, and the ADVENIR program no longer automatically covers standard business installations (it is now targeted at specific sectors like heavy-duty logistics or, under certain conditions, residential co-ownerships). A reduced VAT rate of 5.5% still applies to equipment and installation, and local subsidies may be available depending on your region. As conditions change regularly, our teams will work with you to identify which incentives are still available at the time of your project.

Yes. It is based on the open OCPP 1.6J protocol, which is compatible with the leading supervisors and fleet management platforms on the market, in addition to the Qockpit by Qovoltis application, which centralizes control (remote start/stop, consumption history, alerts) for your entire network of charging stations.

Flat-rate reimbursement never reflects actual consumption and complicates accounting. The Qobox mini features a MID-certified meter (compliant with the European Measuring Instruments Directive), allowing you to reimburse your employees based on official, verifiable data tracked automatically via the Qovoltis app.
