Yep, there are multiple brands of dumb chargers that will do the job (and when I got an EV I decided to get a dumb charger, the smarts are already in the car, and the real shenanigans happen when you hook up two “smart” devices both expecting to be the “smart one” and only talk to “dumb” things). I’m personally a fan of the Grizzl-E classic, it is more weather resistant then many. Or at least the one that the classic is pretending to be was pretty resistant. Grizzl-E also has a much more costly “smart” model which again I think is basically just a chance to spend extra money on features that either don’t help or will actually get in your way.
The people that bought JuiceBox chargers bought them for extra features (scheduling, and reports mostly). Extra features which will stop working making the 2x to 4x more they paid no longer anything vaguely resembling a good deal.
(as I said the scheduling most cars do at least as well as the chargers, and I doubt anyone that buys one of these things looks at the reports past a month or two…if they do I’m sorry they lost the chance to geek out over whatever they got told)
Cool! Sorry they did a pivot from open to closed with the endpoint of dead…
