I was hoping the more expensive ChargePoint has something similar in the feature. Their tech support is very good but if the product fails so badly, it's not going to be worth it. With the 2020 version Juicebox, it's having all sorts of issues and definitely going to return this one. I have a ChargePoint at work.Īll this good smart stuff is great when the Juicebox works properly.
Otherwise, this will be used in the morning commute where I get to work and it'll be about 40%.
If I have some errands in the evening I can still do those with 60% battery left. Then it'll charge up to approx 60% and stop charging. This is also easily adjustable on the fly. My routine is that when I come home with about 40% battery left, and I plug it in and open the Juicebox app, set current charge to 40%. You can have it start charging 4:30am for example, and it's very easy to adjust every time you plug the car. JuiceBox has that feature you are talking about. I agree, it's best to charge right before using the energy especially when it's close to full. It only has a "stop" button on the app, is that correct? Is there a way to just charge for 1 hour? It looks like GoogleHome feature isn't there yet either so I can't just say "charge for 1 hour".Īnyone else have a workaround or any other product that supports controlling through a phone app? However, my worry is that ChargePoint doesn't have any kind of charge limit feature. My workplace has ChargePoint, so having one app would be good. Also the wifi is pretty iffy, it drops often times even though the router is pretty close to the charger.
It is especially suitable for drivers of electric cars with large battery packs, including performance and long-range Tesla models, and other EVs with high acceptance rates. Now, this one is having even more issues as the max limit keeps changing on its own so I'm looking at ChargePoint home charger. JuiceBox 48 is a powerful, smart home charging station with an 11.5 kW (48 amps) maximum power output.
I also change the charge current to 40A once in a while for max speed, but usually keep it at 16A otherwise.īut due to the GFDI fault happening more than three times, I returned that unit, and got another JuiceBox Pro 40 Next gen (New 2020 design). Then it would always charge it very close to that 60% mark. I had the max charge limit set to 60%, and when I come home and plug in, I would open the app and adjust what my current battery level is. I like to keep it under 80% (usually taking the battery between 40%-60%) and I have a consistent commute so it's pretty easy to keep it like that. My car is a 2019 Honda Clarity PHEV and doesn't have a charge limiting function from the car itself. I had a JuiceBox Pro 40 (2019), and after almost a year it started developing GFDI ground fault when I unplug the charger from my car when fully charged.
