    Feedback on evse

    Hello guys. I'm curious if anyone here is using the default evse that is delivered with the car for daily charging. Until now, I've been using it a couple of times per week (2-3 xs, during 4-6 hours) and, from time to time, I've noticed that the circuit breaker fires say, from 3 to 3 months...

    portable charger / EVSE options

    I've been looking for a second portable charger to keep in my car, so I thought I'd dump my findings here in case anyone else finds it useful. I live in an apartment, so I was in the market for a portable EVSE that was capable of level 1 and 2 charging; Level 1 for now and Level 2 in case I...

    Possible EVSE failure?

    Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone else has come across this before to help answer what might be going on. I've been searching the web and haven't found any good answers. About 3 or 4 days ago when I plug in my car overnight it only charges up to around 65-70%, *something* happens that causes...

    Uh Oh... Clarity Charge is Chattering !

    I have had the Clarity for a little over 3 1/2 years now. It has been charged 637 times (full and partial). The vehicle has been (and continues to be) completely trouble free. The charging port has never been touched by any EVSE other than the home setup with a L2 JuiceBox 32 Pro (and a...

    Chargers vs Charging Credits

    It’s become pretty standard that new EVs are sold with (usually) a 110v EVSE. My new Hyundai Ioniq 5 also included 2 years of free 30 minute charging sessions at Electrify America on a DC charger. Last night I noticed a Chevy Bolt ad offering free charging installation. I checked out the...

    Tesla charging

    I'm setting up home charging for a Model 3 that will arrive soon. If I set up a Tesla Wall Connector and, in a few years, get a 2nd vehicle that is _not_ Tesla, is there any hope to charge it with the Tesla EVSE? Or, should I look at non-Tesla chargers now? No matter what, I must run a new...

    Siemens EVSE charger connector broke! Not replaceable???

    Hi all, I have had a Siemens VC30GRYU EVSE for a number of years. Had an accident where the cable got pulled on while plugged into our Honda Clarity PHEV. It broke some of the plastic tips from the connector and bent the metal pins. Luckily, it did not damage the charging port on the car. I...

    Looking for outdoor EVSE mounting suggestions

    All, I'm in the market for a BEV and will be buying an EVSE (level 2 charger). I don't have a garage, and I live in New England, so this will necessarily be outdoors. I'm looking for good mounting / installation options for the charger (probably a ChargePoint Home Flex or JuiceBox Pro). A...

    Juicebox 40 handle frozen? / Not remembering charge limits

    Anyone have a good method for unsticking a frozen Juicebox 40 (latest model) handle? It's stuck to the EVSE. I also noticed that it keeps forgetting the charge defined charge ceiling. It must be reset each time. Is this the normal behavior?

    Amazon Basics Level 2 EVSE?

    I was looking at equipment for L2 charging at home on Amazon, and I realize they sell an Amazon Basics branded EVSE for L2 charging. It seems to have all the basics: certified, NEMA level 4 rated weather protection, 32 A, 240 V.....the only atypical thing is it uses a NEMA 6-50 outlet, instead...

    Do I need a home EVSE or just an outlet?

    I have a 40 kW 2019 Leaf (in Canada), and I'm planning to add charging capability at my new cottage, assuming I'm lucky enough to get my offer accepted. I currently do not charge my vehicle at home (condo management is uncooperative), so it's my first time considering this question. Given...

    EVSE - Chargepoint WiFi features?

    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. My car is a 2019 Honda Clarity PHEV and doesn't have a charge limiting function from the car itself. I like to keep it under 80% (usually...

    JuiceBox Pro 40 on Level 1: disappointing

    We had to replace the OEM Level 1 EVSE that came with our Honda Clarity. Since the going price was in the $500-600 range (!) to replace this, we decided to invest in a JuiceBox Pro 40 for about the same price. It has a number of nice features, and when we upgrade the electrical supply to our...

    Slow Charging on Clarity PHEV

    I wanted to share my recent experience in the hope that it may help others. I charge using the 110V EVSE. I recently found my clarity was charging very slowly. Almost 24 hours to fully charge. I noticed that the charger was flashing orange, even though the charge door light was green. After...

    Great C-NET video on different chargers/ connectors

    Here is a very good video that explains all the different charging levels and connectors. And at 40 seconds in is a part just for @insightman who keeps us straight on modes and in this case what’s a charger and what’s an EVSE. (Hint: You’ve never plugged a charger into your Clarity. Ever.) It...
