EVSE 240v recommendations

I replaced my Juicebox 40 with Emporia's plugin (40 amps max) EVSE for $399 (now, $429). A month ago my Juicebox started having issues, primarily related to the charging schedule -- it would start or stop charging at random times (e.g., start during peak hours, fail to turn on when supposed to, turn off before fully charging the car, etc.). These issues occurred regardless of any changes I made to its schedule, even after I disabled scheduling and reset the Juicebox multiple times. These issues occurred with both of my Claritys, and I confirmed that both cars' onboard charging schedules were disabled. It was time to retire the Juicebox.

I'm very impressed with the Emporia. Mounting and setup took less than 10 minutes, including using the app's drop-down boxes to identify my utility provider and rate plan. The app then correctly loaded my current off-peak/peak kWh prices and created a schedule that restricted charging to off-peak only, which I then enabled. The app also charts power usage by session, minute, hour, day, week, month, or year, and works with my whole-house power monitor (Emporia's Vue Utility Connect). With the Vue, the EVSE can optimize charging for when I have excess solar production, or avoid overloading my system during periods of heavy power usage (i.e., manage peak demand). Surprisingly, the charging cable (25' long) is significantly thinner, lighter, and easier to manage/store, which my wife greatly appreciates! Initially, I was concerned about the small cable size, but I haven't detected any heat issues while charging at the Clarity's 30 amp limit. The EVSE actually is rated for 48 amps when hardwired, and I'm hoping that will indeed be the case. I've already purchased a second hardwired version, but haven't started working on the permit process yet. I'm definitely looking forward to having the second EVSE up and running in the not-too-distant future.
