Our verdict

DRBO Greenenergy sells a tethered wallbox at €499 and leaves the fitting to the buyer, which suits drivers who already have an electrician. Support runs on email, chat and phone, the unit ships to DE and AT, and charging power of 11 kW suits a home with a three-phase supply.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Charger price of €499 is well under the €1,099 charged by Endesa for its charger
  • Tethered cable and a mobile app come as standard, matching what most home boxes offer
  • Open Charge Point Interface is supported, so the charger can sit in managed charging software
  • Support runs on email, chat and phone, which covers phone and chat as well as email
  • Delivery is covered across DE and AT from a single seller

Cons

  • Installation is not included, so €499 is the unit alone and the extra work still has to be paid for
  • The unit ships only to DE and AT, so buyers elsewhere look at Endesa or Autel Energy instead
  • Output of 11 kW sits below the 11.5 kW of the Enphase unit, so slower cars will not gain from a bigger box

Who it suits

  • Drivers in DE and AT who want a tethered cable rather than carrying a portable unit
  • Anyone comfortable arranging their own installation to keep the €499 outlay small
  • Households with three-phase supply who can use 11 kW of charging power

Who should look elsewhere

  • Buyers who need an installer arranged, since installation is not included
  • Shorter-range drivers, as 11 kW trails the 11.5 kW Enphase unit
  • Buyers outside DE and AT, who have no delivery route from this seller

What it does well

The wallbox this seller lists comes with a tethered cable, so the connector stays with the unit and there is nothing to unplug and carry into the house. Charging power runs at 11 kW, which suits a household with a three-phase supply rather than a single-phase connection on its limits. A mobile app is included for starting, stopping and scheduling charging from a phone. The charger also speaks Open Charge Point Interface, so it can be picked up by software that schedules charging around cheap or surplus electricity. Installation is not included with the €499 charger, so the box arrives as hardware only and someone has to fit and commission it. On a purely cost basis, €499 is well under the €1,099 that Endesa charges for its charger, though the buyer covers the fitting either way.

Where it sits among rivals

On charger price, DRBO Greenenergy holds position 2 of 19 brands ranked, which puts the €499 unit close to the cheaper end of the field rather than at the top of it. The gap is clear against named rivals: Endesa lists its charger at €1,099 and Autel Energy at $599, so this unit is the lowest of the three on the sticker price. Charging power tells a different story. Here the 11 kW box takes position 10 of 18 brands ranked, and it is a step below the 11.5 kW offered by the Enphase unit. The pattern is a lower-cost box with less headroom, which suits most homes and penalises anyone with a bigger car on a fast charger network.

Who runs it

The seller operates as DRB Operations GmbH, registered in Germany, so contracts, consumer rights and warranty terms follow German law. It is a hardware seller rather than an energy supplier, which keeps the relationship narrow: the wallbox, its delivery and its support. Support runs on email, chat and phone, so a question about installation or the app can go to a person by phone, in chat or by email rather than through a ticket queue alone. The same company sells to DE and AT, which is the full list of destinations the shipping policy covers. Anyone outside those markets will need another seller, and anyone expecting a supplier that also manages charging tariffs at the meter will not find that here.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the wallbox cost?+

The listed charger price is €499. That covers the unit with its tethered cable and mobile app, but not the fitting. Installation is not included, so budget separately for an electrician to mount and commission it. A site median charger price of €804 puts this unit below the middle of the field.

Is installation included in the price?+

No. Installation is not included with the €499 charger, so what you buy is the hardware alone. Across the site, a median installation price of €1,137.78 shows what fitting typically costs, and most sellers in this category charge for it separately. You will need a local installer.

How powerful is the charger?+

Charging power runs at 11 kW, which makes it a sensible match for a household with a three-phase connection. It is a step down from the 11.5 kW offered by the Enphase unit, and below the site median of 11.75 kW across the brands ranked. Most cars never use the difference overnight.

Does it come with a cable?+

Yes, a tethered cable is included, so the connector is fixed to the unit and there is nothing to unplug and store indoors. This is the more common setup in homes, where most chargers are tethered rather than untethered. A mobile app is also included for scheduling and control.

Can I control charging from an app?+

A mobile app is part of the package, so charging can be started, stopped and scheduled from a phone rather than only at the unit. The charger also supports Open Charge Point Interface, which lets it join managed charging software that shifts sessions to cheaper or greener periods. That pairing is useful if you follow a time of use tariff.

Which countries does it ship to?+

The seller ships to DE and AT, and the company behind it is registered in Germany. Delivery outside those markets is not covered by the shipping policy, so buyers elsewhere need a local installer and a different seller. The legal entity is DRB Operations GmbH, so terms follow German law.

How do I get help after buying?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone, so you can reach the company by phone, in chat or by email. That is broader than a contact form alone, and it matters most for installation questions and app pairing, which are the parts a hardware seller cannot hand over on delivery. There is no ongoing energy account to manage.

Is this a charger or an energy tariff?+

It is a charger sold as hardware, not a supply contract. The seller is DRB Operations GmbH, a company registered in Germany, and it does not quote a unit rate or a standing charge. If you want the box to follow cheap electricity, you will pair it with your own tariff rather than with a plan from this seller.
