The heart of Texas is humming with innovation, and it’s not just from its legendary music scene or world-class barbecue. There’s a quiet, electrifying revolution happening in Arlington — and Wallbox is leading the charge.

In just over two years since opening its U.S. manufacturing facility, Wallbox has proudly rolled out its 100,000th EV charger from its Arlington, Texas plant. It’s not just a corporate milestone — it’s a pivotal moment that underscores Texas’ growing role in the global shift toward clean energy, sustainable transportation, and long-term economic opportunity.

Founded in 2015 in Barcelona, Wallbox has grown into a global force in EV charging and energy management, offering products in over 100 countries. But when the company decided to set up a key manufacturing base to serve the rapidly growing North American market, it planted its flag in Arlington — and that decision is already paying off.

Douglas Alfaro, Chief Business Development Officer at Wallbox, emphasized that this isn’t just about chargers — it’s about people and progress. “We’re not just manufacturing here. We’re investing in communities, creating high-quality jobs, and laying the groundwork for long-term economic vitality,” he said.

With each charger produced, Wallbox is helping train a new generation of workers skilled in smart manufacturing, robotics, energy efficiency, and green tech. For Arlington and the greater North Texas region, it’s a win-win: New industries, better-paying jobs, and a leadership role in the clean energy transformation.

Wallbox isn’t resting on its laurels. Even as the 100,000th charger rolled off the line, the company launched pre-orders for its Quasar 2 — a cutting-edge bi-directional charger that allows vehicles to power homes and feed energy back into the grid. Initially rolling out to Kia EV9 owners in select states, the Quasar 2, priced from $6,440, reflects the company’s long-term vision: not just charging EVs, but creating smart, sustainable energy ecosystems.

Features like Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) and solar integration make this more than just an EV accessory. It’s a step toward energy independence and resilience — something Texans know is essential after past energy grid crises.

Even in a volatile market, Wallbox’s strategy stands out. While Q4 2024 earnings came in below expectations with a 14% dip in revenue and lower-than-expected margins, analysts like Canaccord Genuity and Stifel remain optimistic. The long-term fundamentals are strong, bolstered by Wallbox’s robust product pipeline, innovative R&D, and high-potential partnerships.

The Buy ratings aren’t just hopeful speculation — they’re grounded in real, strategic positioning. As the U.S. accelerates toward EV adoption and grid modernization, Wallbox is poised to be a key player.

Texas is already a giant in oil and gas, but a new chapter is unfolding. The state is fast becoming a hub for clean energy technology, innovation, and manufacturing — and Arlington is right at the center of it.

The state’s logistical advantages, skilled labor pool, business-friendly environment, and increasing appetite for green energy investment make it a natural fit for companies like Wallbox. Add federal and state incentives into the mix, and you’ve got a formula for long-term, sustainable economic growth.

CEO Enric Asunción gave credit where it’s due — to the dedicated team in Arlington whose work makes these milestones possible. Their expertise and commitment are helping Wallbox not only meet but exceed expectations, fueling a movement that reaches far beyond Texas.

Wallbox’s Texas story is just beginning. With increasing demand for EV infrastructure, ongoing innovation in energy management, and a growing footprint in North America, Wallbox is shaping the future of sustainable transportation — and Arlington is right there with them.

So, as the 100,000th charger finds its way to a driveway or business somewhere across the U.S., it represents much more than a number on a production line. It’s a sign that Texas is once again stepping up — not just as a leader in energy, but as a beacon for the future.

Could this signal a wave of new EV infrastructure projects across Texas? With Wallbox growing in Arlington and demand for clean energy rising fast, the state is likely to see more charging stations, public installations, and smart energy systems built from the ground up. For contractors, developers, and service providers, this is more than a tech milestone—it’s a doorway to new projects, long-term partnerships, and a front-row seat in shaping Texas’ next-generation infrastructure.
