#JUICEBOX 32 DOWNLOAD#
In addition to the JuiceBox, the box included:Ī 25-foot cable with connector and holster.Ī cheat sheet with step-by-step guidance to download the app (IOS or Google Play) and set up an account.įrom the time our electrician finished running the electrical to the garage, I followed the instructions for WiFi set up and was charging the 4xe in under 20 minutes. To my surprise, the only assembly was going to be attaching the supplied bracket to the wall and setting/locking the JuiceBox to the bracket, before downloading the app and plugging the unit in. I expected a bunch of parts, and that assembly was going to be needed. As excited as I was for it to arrive, my dog Tito thought it was something for him. Once the JuiceBox charger arrived, I couldn’t wait to open the box. The ability to share the load for an additional charger on a single circuit, if I have the future need. Tracking my charging history and KW usage within the app. Notifications when the car was completely charged.

I was not going to need to install a separate electrical circuit, as the JuiceBox 40 could charge the 4xe’s 17.4kWh battery from 1% to 100% in two hours. Ultimately what pushed me to JuiceBox was the following: They were on their second and third EVs and had spent a lot of money over the years on other charging solutions.

It also didn’t hurt that a couple friends with full EVs, as opposed to plug-in hybrids, said JuiceBox was the way to go. While there are plenty of reviews and articles (including an in-depth look from AutoGuide), a couple things seemed to be consistent about the JuiceBox products:Ī JuiceBox 32 EV charger is plenty for overnight charging of full EVs, and more than enough for the battery in my Wrangler, but JuiceBox went all-out and sent a 40-amp JuiceBox 40.

I spent hours on sites like Jeep Wrangler 4xe Forum, and other EV sites, gathering insights about what others like myself were experiencing, and looking for suggestions from other knowledge-seeking individuals. This wasn’t what the future of the automobile was supposed to be like.Īs a first time EV owner, you may be wondering why I chose a JuiceBox? I started doing my homework on EV charging the day I ordered the 4xe and since I was going to have eight to 10 weeks, I read a lot. I found myself looking in the garage, checking on and watching for all the blue lights on the dash to light up, letting me know how much the battery still had to go. However, after plugging in the 4xe every day for the first couple of months and letting it charge for 12-plus hours on a completely drained battery, I started to question if it was worth the wait-and quickly decided it wasn’t. Back in June when I brought our Jeep Wrangler 4xe battery hybrid home, I thought it would just be easy enough to use the Gen1 charger that came with it.

With the ability to charge your EV at home, you'll have increased confidence in your vehicle's range and the ability to complete longer trips without worrying about finding a public charging station.
Most home chargers are Level 2 chargers, which offer faster charging speeds compared to Level 1 charging (using a standard household outlet). Home charging is often cheaper than charging at public stations, especially if you have access to cheaper, off-peak electricity rates. This is especially convenient for overnight charging, allowing you to start each day with a full battery.
With a home charger, you can charge your EV whenever you need to, without having to search for a public charging station.
