Jeep ordered now for the charger

[Trini]

+1 for the Grizzl-e charger here. I bought the smart version but the "smart" features are really not really very useful - the basic classic version is more than fine. Only drawback of this brand is it includes a very short cord (like 1.5 ft).

Mines is 24 ft, which is more than enough for any installation..

What about this charger, will it work? Went to home depot to start buying the things Id need for install and stumbled on this charger Lectron Lectron Level 2 240V 40A EV Charger w/ 18ft J1772 & NEMA 14-50 Outlets | The Home Depot Canada

Ive got 65% off on it.

I personally would avoid all of the generic Chinese evses that aren't UL or equivalent tested (not just using a few ul listed components and claiming compliance that way). I've seen lots of complaints about the lectrons and identical evses wearing different logos getting unreasonably hot. At the same time, some people use them without issue.

Got it on sale for $560 and $100 for installation from a local electrician. I get a full charge in 2hrs and 15 minutes.

$100 installation? Wow. Is your electrical panel on the other side of that wall?

I had people quote me $500-1500 for install. My friend actually paid 500$ to install tesla one, took 15min. using 3 foot long wire with 6/3cord.
Im installing mine myself. People are crazy to charge $500+ to connect four wires
Just got another guy messaging me $700-1000 will depend how much wire he needs.

Mine will be outside. It would be nice to have a unit that didn’t light up the neighborhood with a bright led light all night:

I got the grizzl-e dual charger as I picked up a 4xE for me and a Pacifica hybrid for the wife and it’s worked flawlessly. No problems and charges both at once or 1 at a time. For $800 for a dual charger you can’t go wrong.

I have the Jeep/juicebox charger and although it has been working without any issues I constantly lose the Wi-Fi connection. Reinitializing it loses all the charging history which is a bummer.

I spent a couple of weeks researching and comparing all the charger options and sharing what I found with my wife. We ended up getting the Juicebox b/c she liked the name!
