![]() Juicebox-Pro customers are eligible for priority support via the forum and via email for up to 2 years after initial purchase. Please search the forum for a solution before posting a new question. Juicebox is supported via the Support Forum. As for the Charger itself, if you already have all the electrical set up then anyone can mount it themselves.If you have a question about using Juicebox, please check the FAQ first. ![]() ![]() With brands like Juicebox and ClipperCreek, they have units that work with other types of plugs you might have, such as a Nema 14-50. ChargePoint uses a Nema 6-50 plug so you would need the matching receptacle. I would call in an electrician and get a quote for them hooking up your 40AMP breaker, and anything else you need to have it ready for the charger, and compare to see if it is worth it. With ZapBC you have to agree to them being able to see all your charging details, the reason for their credit. I also have the ChargePoint app and the home charger works on it, so one less app I needed to add to my phone.Īt the end of the day if you can get it cheaper from elsewhere and properly installed, go for it. I went with ChargePoint and ZapBC just for the peace of mind of having someone install it who should be experienced with chargers, the cost savings over buying a unit and having it installed, and the peace of mind that they promise to fix or replace it for 3 years. The good thing is if they don't need/use everything they quoted you, they will refund you. If you have everything set up it will still come to around $600, whereas if you don't somewhere closer to $1000+ (Permit, load calculation, 40amp breaker, J box, receptacle, wire, charger, labour). When the electrician comes, they also complete a checklist of what they did. Just remember that the person that quotes you might not be an electrician, but does follow a checklist with set prices. ![]() At the end of the day they are a business and trying to make money. Going rate it is, and I’ll be doing it.Ĭlick to expand.Your quote sounds pretty comparable to others, even with them ferrying. If an electrician is, say, $150/hr with a 4 hour minimum and materials and ferry are $200, then I guess $450 is the cost of doing business? I’m just making up numbers at this point but I cannot wrap my head around it. I guess connecting a wire to a panel on one end, outlet on the other, mounting and setting up a charger costs that much? Oh plus materials, travel time and $40 return ferry. They sent a revised quote which now included the ferry cost, travel time, 10’ of wire and labour for installation of home charger and it came to $1256. It’s just tucked behind the panel and requires a 40amp breaker to connect it. I emailed back and explained my house is a new build and in anticipation of a car charger I had the wiring installed from the carport to the panel. I guess I’m just confused over a comment I read where a person described what he was charged: “The installation charges were $430 before taxes which is the minimum possible charge.” What else confuses me is that my initial quote was for $1376, which included cutting out drywall, wall penetrations, wiring a 40 amp breaker and 40’ of wire. S more than $100 less than the ChargePoint and delivers the same power.ģ)The JuiceBox has more features like power-sharing (if you ever add another one because you get a 2nd EV they can share a single power feed), You can also power de-rate the unit through the app, if you want it to charge slower and then increase it if you need to charge faster.īoth are good units, but the JuiceBox is slightly better and costs less, so. The ChargePoint will allow moisture to enter the enclosure in some conditions, but drain out.Ģ) the JuiceBox Pro 40 delivers 40 amps compared to 32, and still costs less. ![]() Both are outdor rated, but the JuiceBox is higher rated because it prevents ant moisture from entering the housing, even direct flow from a hose. If your cross shopping it with the ChargePoint here's the differences.ġ) the JuiceBox is NEMA 4 rated, and the CHargePoint is NEMA 3.
