The company that owns Juicebox is quitting the US market and removing all its apps and software updates.

    This (and 2 broken EVSEs) are why I bought an OpenEVSE 4 years ago. Zero problems since.

      Thanks for mentioning OpenEVSE (https://www.openevse.com/) I’m going to keep them in mind against future need.

      I have a charger by Webasto. It has a jankety app, and way more bells and whistles than I need. Tho’ I do appreciate the 48amp rating. I chose that one because my neighbor suggested it. Turned out to not have the rebate available as our power company is rather restrictive in their choice of chargers to support. Have seen JuiceBox chargers while on drives around my state.

        our power company is rather restrictive in their choice of chargers to support.

        Most of them want you to give them control over your charger so they can load-balance. Much like they do with your thermostats. OpenEVSE supports this via EmonCMS, I believe? I dunno, mine stopped getting software updates a long time ago.

      Thank you for posting about OpenEVSE. I’m in the market for an EVSE and was not aware of this option. Did you buy a product or a DIY kit?
