Wallbox announced on July 24, 2025, the launch of its virtual power plants (VPPs) in California and New York, powered by a new partnership with Leap. This initiative is part of Wallbox Rewards, a smart charging program designed to enable Wallbox users to earn incentives by contributing to grid flexibility through their home EV chargers.
The VPPs will aggregate energy capacity from thousands of residential chargers, connecting them to local energy programs via Leap’s platform. This intelligent coordination helps utilities manage demand peaks, balance renewable generation variability, and improve overall grid stability.
Participating users allow their chargers to shift charging to times when electricity is cleaner, more affordable, and in lower demand. In return, they receive in-app charging insights, feature upgrades, and potential eligibility for performance-based financial incentives. The program went live in July in California and New York, with expansion into Texas expected later in 2025.
