However, if you’re planning and upgrading your EVs soon to a model released within the last three years or so, there’s no question that the Pro 40 will be compatible with your new vehicle. The Pro 40, if we’re being honest, can be overkill for most older EVs with lower acceptance ratings (for instance, a 2013 Nissan Leaf). Even though modern EVs are built with battery protection systems to prevent overload, it’s a good idea to find the charger that meets or slightly exceeds this rating. The acceptance rate is the maximum amount of charging power the car can receive. There’s one thing we always remind our readers when they shop for an EVSE: check your car’s acceptance rate. There are several adapters that work with this device basically, anything that is not meant for 120V outlets. The benefits of a plug-and-play style EV charging station like this one includes extreme portability and simple installation assuming your home’s electrical system is set up and ready to roll. The Pro 40 comes with a standard NEMA 14-50 plug that connects directly into a proper receptacle of at least 50 amps. It will help avoid tripped circuits while also ensuring the charging station delivers an efficient charging output to older vehicles. To save money on electricity bills, you can bring the charging rate down from 40 to 30 amps. For those who travel long distances, this is a definite plus. By plugging this baby into a 240V 50-amp circuit, you can super-charge your EV to a maximum of 9.6 kW per hour which translates roughly into between 30 and 40 travel miles per charging hour.
JuiceBox makes both 32-amp and 40-amp charging stations, but the one we are looking at is the Pro 40 model. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
