A safe wallbox on the market
A safe home
When choosing the GARO Entity Home and GARO Entity Compact wallboxes, not only are you making a sustainable and climate-smart choice, but you can also feel safe knowing that it’s the safest wallbox on the market.
The wallboxes boast comprehensive integrated protection, have been thoroughly tested to handle the Nordic climate and are the only wallboxes on the market that are third-party tested and certified according to the international charging standard*. Therefore, GARO Entity is entirely unique in terms of safety. The wallboxes have no trouble with load balancing, meaning that the charging output is adapted to the electricity consumption of other devices with no need to worry about tripping the main fuse.
Which is why we feel confident saying that GARO Entity is the safest wallbox on the market.
*The international charging standard includes standards 61851 and 62955.
Built-in residual current device
When installing a charging station at home, a Type B residual current device (RCD) must be included in your unit or in your exterior meter cabinet if your charger lacks DC protection. This ensures that the installation meets electrical safety standards and functions safely. In the GARO Entity, this feature is already built-in, so neither you nor your installer needs to worry about it. This also saves you approximately 4500 SEK compared to a charging station that would require an additional Type B RCD, while providing you peace of mind that you’re charging your vehicle safely and in compliance with Sweden’s National Electrical Safety Board.
Both safe and cost-effective
Did you know that your wallbox or facade meter cabinet must be fitted with a Type B residual current device for the installation to be safe and meet electrical safety requirements? This is a cost of about SEK 1,000 after the Green Technology deduction, but GARO Entity already has ground fault detection and DC protection built in, which means you don't have to think about the extra cost and can feel safe while you charge your car.
A wallbox installation without a Type B residual current device can pose considerable risks to the safety and security of your home, both the house itself and your family. So, with a GARO Entity, you get both peace of mind and a cost-effective wallbox.
Surge protection offers extra peace of mind in daily life
Sweden’s National Electrical Safety Board recommends equipping your wallbox with lightning protection. Accordingly, the GARO Entity is equipped with a surge protector that protects your car and your wallbox in the event of thunderstorms and other power surges.
