Liberty Plugins, Wallbox Unveil Innovative Lowest-Cost Solution for EV Charging Station Management
Liberty Plugins, Inc., a pioneer in EV charge station management since 2009, has partnered with Wallbox, a global leader in EV charging hardware, to launch the U.S.-made Liberty CodeConnect™ Wallbox Charger. This breakthrough managed charging solution merges Wallbox’s Pulsar Plus EV charger with Liberty’s patented CodeConnect encryption technology, enabling essential management features such as access control and payment, without requiring an internet connection.
Available in 40A and 48A variants, the Liberty CodeConnect Wallbox Charger is priced at $1,495 per unit with a flat subscription fee of $9/month.
The product combines Wallbox’s award-winning industrial design with Liberty’s secure, U.S.-developed encryption platform to deliver an intuitive, reliable charging experience. It addresses a longstanding challenge in EV infrastructure—how to provide managed charging in locations where internet access is unavailable or where security policies restrict network connections.
Key Features Include:
Lowest-Cost Managed Charging Solution: No hidden fees, surprise costs, or unnecessary upgrades.
Simple Access Management: Operators can sell or distribute time-based session codes to drivers, both public and private.
No Network or Gateway Setup: Ready to use out of the box, simplifying installation and reducing operational expenses.
Kristen Helsel, CEO of Liberty Plugins, emphasized the company’s commitment to affordability and transparency:
“Value, transparency, and customer service guide all our products and services. The Liberty CodeConnect Wallbox Charger is the natural evolution of our work—high-quality, managed charging without the exorbitant fees or high lifetime ownership costs imposed by other providers. We’re thrilled to partner with Wallbox, a global leader in charging equipment, to make EV charging more accessible and affordable. In a time when many organizations face budget cuts and other challenges, this solution delivers reliability and simplicity at a price point they can embrace,” said Helsel.
Esteve Dolsa, General Manager of Wallbox North America, highlighted the innovation:
“At Wallbox, we believe EV charging should be simple, smart, and accessible to everyone. The Liberty CodeConnect Wallbox Charger showcases the power of collaboration, bringing together our Pulsar Plus hardware with Liberty’s CodeConnect technology to offer a new level of flexibility and affordability,” said Dolsa.
Unlocking New Charging Opportunities
One of the charger’s most distinctive advantages is its ability to sell charging sessions without a local network connection. This opens the door for deployment in rural parks, remote tourist destinations, and other areas where internet coverage is limited or unreliable. It also provides a secure solution for facilities such as corporate campuses, government buildings, and military installations that avoid connecting external devices to internal networks due to cybersecurity concerns.
The design also benefits cost-sensitive customers such as housing developments, small businesses, and community organizations that need managed charging but cannot justify expensive subscriptions or overly complex systems.
A Legacy of Innovation
Liberty has been a leader in EV infrastructure since launching the first charge station management platform in 2009. Its portfolio includes:
Hydra™ – a hardware-based Charge Station Management System.
Liberty Access Platform – a cloud-based universal charge station administration tool.

This track record has earned Liberty a reputation for delivering practical, cost-effective, and accessible EV charging solutions across North America.
