The first thing I bought before I got my electric car was a Level 2 charger for my garage. After much research, I went with the JuiceBox Pro 40 by Enel X. It used to be owned by EmotorWorks, but recently (say last year) I think they were bought out.
The Pro 40 was Wifi-enabled, so I could set up schedules to use it during the time of use (TOU) based on my electric company schedule for Super Off-Peak. I guess I could have done it with my car setup, but it was nice to have a web interface provided by Pro 40.
Overall the device has been great, I did have to have it replaced under warranty already once due to possible overheating of the device. This second device seems to be working great up until today. After doing some reading on the company website it looks like it could be an easy fix something to do with the lever in the J1772 handle.
I have sent in a trouble ticket with the company to see what they recommend in the meantime I am down to a level 1 charger in my garage, and from the looks of it, I will need to charge for 16 hours after a normal day of driving. Whereas my Level 2 would take just under 4 hours to charge the same distant.
Hope to get this resolved soon.
