![]() This deficit prevents prospective buyers who reside in these areas from purchasing an EV and has consumers who travel extensively throughout the country for work or pleasure thinking twice. Large parts of the country don’t have charging stations. Charging infrastructure is now prevalent in many cities. Slide casually into my DMs, and I can help get your box fixed - either DIY or mail-in.Range anxiety often keeps many consumers from switching to an EV. I've also never had a repair bill over $200 (shipping included). I offer repairs for out-of-warranty boxes dating back to the original Kickstarter boxes (including those black cylinder ones with the LCD), and I've got replacement parts for them as well. sometimes, a screw wasn't tightened inside the box (⊙_⊙~) And that's why there's a warranty! If everything is set up properly - with proper breaker (a 40-amp EVSE should have a 50-amp outlet and a 50-amp breaker) - then everything should just work, forever. In general, there's absolutely nothing you can do or set (with standards-compliant vehicles and proper installation/ratings) to cause the EVSE, your car, or the outlet, to burn out. JuiceBox, as with other EVSEs, definitely should not be getting hot to the touch at any load. It does all its self-tests on startup (into supply, not the car), and if there's a fault, maybe that fault is a one-time thing, so I recommend just unplugging it and plugging it back in so it'll re-test everything. That, itself, is as complete a reset as you can get. Generally, if JuiceBox gives you a beep error on startup (when plugged into AC supply), it's no bueno. More with the older versions (JuiceBox v1.x - everything from Kickstarter-era boxes through the 3-LED black boxes), than the newer ones (v2.x, anything with a plastic enclosure). Thought I should chime in here on this matter. So in my case, everyone charges together. The JB gives me all the same data to a large degree that Tesla gives me from the onboard MCU for charging and state of charge. ![]() I did buy a 2nd Tesla mobile unit which is on the same backer board I put for the juicebox and I use a Neo smart switch on the single 240 outlet to charge both EVs at the same time. Both have 14-50 and 110 adapters with them. I also keep a generic one in the van for the same reasons. I do keep the Tesla mobile in my car all the time. The 250 dollar rebate from SCE didnt hurt either I see now that JB is going to be offering a dual plug charger. JUICEBOX TWITTER PLUSSo the JB is dead simple to set up and use plus track. The Tesla came later or it might have been a different charger The van doesn't have the wealth of data about charging and the menus to set up scheduled charging looks to be designed by toddlers with crayons. We got the van first so we got the juicebox primarily for that car. I used to use the Tesla adapter almost daily on the Juicebox to charge my car. My in-laws have a Tesla destination wall charger( V1) for their S and this allows me to use it on my Pacifica Hybrid when we visit. I have the original version of this adapter. Any ideas?Įlectrician is coming back to double check wiring, but I trust these guys they have done a TON of work for me and the company I work for.Ĭlick to expand.Yeah. I don't think I set up the app wrong and I can't see how anything would have caused the problem. I just hope that I didn't cause the issue. Now they say I need to get a replacement and they are sending one my way. I did that and then the beep went from 1 to 5 which appears to be a internal circuit error. So they asked me to leave it plugged in but flip breaker off for another hour. I called Juicebox (will say I was impressed I got to talk to someone right away) They had me turn it on and off a few times to try and reset the internal GFI. Which according to their site its a internal GFI error. I flipped the breaker back on and the Juicebox powered up and started a constant beep. ![]() The cable and plug didn't feel hot at all. ![]() I felt the Juicebox and it was extremely hot. I unplugged the car and flipped the breaker back on and it instantly tripped again. I go out to garage and look and see that the breaker (50amp non GFI) was tripped. About a 1.5 hours later I get a notification from Tesla app that the charging was interrupted. That said I got it plugged into my new M3P and car showed 40amps connected and it started charging away. First App isn't very good and underwhelming. So when I got off work last night I was able to power up my new Juicebox 40 and set it up. So yesterday I finally was able to get electricians to house and get my 240 plug installed in my garage. ![]()
