What home charging unit do you use? Would you recommend it to others and why?

Wallbox Pulsar Plus – the Wallbox unit seems robust enough. Adjustable output to the car, so if you don’t need the car charged right away, then you can reduce the current for a longer charge time. The app that controls the Wallbox still needs more work, it is a bit confusing.
