Five mobile wallboxes put to the test: In the benchmark review conducted by electricar and DIE TESTER, the NRGkick 16A achieved an overall score of 95.44% and an “Excellent” rating. A decisive first place with a substantial lead.

The Result: 95.44% and “Excellent”

The testing protocol evaluated standby power consumption, measured device weights, and subjected the associated companion apps to identical benchmarks. The overall score is split across five weighted categories:

• Connectivity (40%)

• Charging (20%)

• Safety (20%)

• Physical Properties (10%)

• App (10%)

Overall Score: 95.44% – Excellent

This puts the NRGkick nearly nine percentage points ahead of the runner-up (86.58%). The testers highlighted the unit as the most versatile model in the entire lineup.

Key Strengths Noted in the Test

• Fully Connected: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Cloud access are integrated as standard; cellular connectivity and OCPP are optionally available. The unit earned maximum points across every connectivity parameter.

• Smart Charging: Factory-equipped with dynamic load management, scheduled charging sessions, multi-phase charging, and support for dynamic electricity tariffs.

• 100% App Rating: Charging current can be tuned in precise 1 A increments, with voltage and output monitored in real time.

Safety: Passed with Flying Colors

• Protective conductor resistance measured 0.52 Ω, well within the mandatory 1 Ω limit.

• Insulation resistance exceeded 999 MΩ.

• The built-in residual current protection for AC and DC faults (30 mA AC, 6 mA DC) triggered reliably in every test cycle.

Reviewer Notes

Socket adapters and a carrying case are not included as standard:

• Adapter selection depends directly on the specific wall outlet types required.

• Advanced features such as OCPP or solar surplus charging are offered via modular software upgrades, allowing users to start with the core unit and expand features on demand.

Target Audience

The test team explicitly recommends the NRGkick 16A for fleet operations requiring load management, as well as for:

• Charging at home via a standard red CEE outlet without installing a permanent wall station.

• Frequent travelers who rely on diverse socket types on the road.

• Maximizing self-generated solar energy using the PV surplus charging upgrade.

A Track Record of Test Wins

This result continues a consistent streak for NRGkick in electricar, following test victories in 2024 and 2025. In 2026,the device once again secured top honors in the lab, alongside winning the comprehensive comparison review by Elektroautomobil.
