From Transport Evolved.
Over the past year or so, we’ve chronicled the frustrating demise of the JuiceBox and JuiceNet system from something that really was a shining beacon in the EV world to something that was less useful than a chocolate teapot on a hot pavement in the middle of heat wave. (see below for our previous videos on the subject).
But now, thanks to the folks at https://www.openevse.org – we’ve now got replacement OpenEVSE control boards designed specifically for our JuiceBoxes.
It allows us to convert our excellent charging station (complete with its heavy-duty case, relay and power cables) and convert them to 100% open source – at least when it comes to their operation and inner smarts!
