Why? Only one plugged in at a time. The only thing that would be of concern is my adapter I made for the JuiceBox and the ClipperCreek. Been using all 3 for 7 years now without issue. Nothing gets warm while charging and there are no scorch marks anywhere.

Why do you need 3 different chargers? Are they not all J-1772?

Just going for a laugh Jamie. Should have used a smiley face.

I'm a collector....

Real story: The Bosch/SPX charger at left came with a deal from my electricity provider (I paid about $100 complete for wiring to the garage, new breakers, new outside meter, and the EVSE back in 2013--they had a tax deal going on).

Picked up the Clipper Creek as a portable Level-2 (both the Focus Electric and C-Max only come with Level-1 EVSE's. The Mach-E will be the first car I've had that comes with a combo Level-1/Level-2 EVSE). The CC actually lives in the car and is never on the wall like that. I keep a 14-50 adapter with it for use in campgrounds.

The JuiceBox: The people running the Focus Electric forums ran a contest: "Start a blog win an EVSE" I guess you can tell how that turned out LOL (I think there were only 4 or 5 blogs started and mine was the most, er, voluminous so I guess I won on quantity alone LOL--these days I try to post at least once every two weeks but sometimes it goes longer).

do you plan to get a new one for the mach e, use the one the comes with it or use one of the current ones as your primary charger?

Just going to use the three as I have been. Electrons are electrons are electrons. Just like you can use an extension cord from any store for your electric edger you can use any EVSE with your EV.

My usage is as follows:

• Clipper Creek in campgrounds
• JuiceBox when I can park the car in the garage next to the EVSE's as the JuiceBox's cable is only about 4 ft long
• Bosch/SPX when I park outside the garage or the spot over as its cord is about 20 ft long

Here is the Clipper Creek plugged in at a campground:
