Your time wasted messing around with a third-party charger is unnecessary, IMHO, and your original instincts remain valid. Bottom line: the Siemens unit is comparatively inexpensive, has no unnecessary bells and whistles, does a great job with the Clarity at home for everyday living and easily becomes a portable charger too when desired or needed. (while you are sleeping and electric rates may be lower), built-in cable management (no need for a hose rack or something like that on which to hang your charging cable) AND wall mounting on a rail, which allows you to simply unplug it, slide it off the rail and put the charger box and cables in your trunk for that trip to grandma's house, your lake house, your new house (when you purchase one), or etc. This charger, by its design, includes a 20' cable, 32 amps at 240V (2-1/2 hour (or less) charging of a Clarity, a 2/4/6/8 hour "delay" button which allows you to easily set it to charge your vehicle at (say) 1 a.m. Charging at 20A versus 25A does cause less heating and would be less likely to overload an unknown circuit.Ĭlick to expand.I purchased the plug-in version of the simple Siemens charger on sale for under $400 at Costco. If you really want the max charging, the clippercreek HCS-40P is 32A, but a little bigger and heavier and costs more. It's not any larger or heavier than a level 1 charger, so you don't really notice it in the trunk. JuiceBox 40 Amp Electric Vehicle Charging Station with NEMA, 20-ft Cable Item 1428319 4.4 (494) Write a review Your Price -.- Price Per :. Yes it's a little slower than a 32A charger, but it costs less too (you can find used on Ebay occasionally for $200). I really like the Clippercreek for portability, but it charges the Clarity at 20A instead of the max of 25A, so charging will be about 20% slower or take more like 3 hours instead of 2.5.ģ) I like the LCS-25 for portable use. I also have a Clippercreek 20A charger (LCS-25). It is fairly portable, much like the juicebox. Just had to shell out $100 for the 32A J1772 charging cable.Ģ) I built one of the homegrown chargers that charges up to 40A with components i used. I paid as much to have it shipped to me as I did for the charger. At home I have an old Edison ICS-200 Avcon chargers that I converted to J1772 (dinosaur and weighs a ton, but always reliable and charges up to 40A). So what's next? Take the tour to find out more, or try it out by downloading the Free Lite version.1) I'm lucky to have free level 2 charging where I work - Chargepoint - so occasional hickups with charging stopping or never starting. Maybe you're a designer or developer adding galleries to client websites? Or a photographer or artist with a portfolio to display? Or perhaps a blogger showing off your latest photos? Whatever the case, Juicebox is a great image gallery solution. The Lite version is free to use, and the Pro version requires a one-time purchase per domain.
