I purchased the same Juicebox from Costco last year. It's been super reliable for me.Just got my MME last week and it obviously came with the ford mobile charger. I’ve been using it and it seems fine with no bells or whistles.
I purchased a juicebox 40 from Costco for $399 (after $100 off). Haven’t opened yet.
Do I stick with the Ford Mobile Charger for home charging?
Use the Juicebox and put the Ford Mobile Charger in my trunk for road beads?
Or look at other home options?
Note: I have a Nema 14-50 outlet so not looking for hardwired options.
Thanks in advance!
The app is clunky, but I just use it as a "dumb" charger and do all of the time of day settings and charge limits through the car menu or Ford pass app. I do have the JB connected to my WiFi and use the app so see the charging curve when I'm interested. I also use the JB app to adjust the amperage. I'll usually run it at 32 amps but I'll bump it to the full 40 when needed.
Connecting it to my WiFi was a PITA, and I had to use their alternate "laptop browser" method (instructions available in the help section of the JB website). I couldn't get the unit to connect to my WiFi using the app.
