Newbee Question; re chargers

[jamieo]

I am planning to install an L2 EVSE this month ... I am trying to decide between this Eaton model http://www.lowes.com/pd_589161-82364-EVSEL230CNAW-RTL___ and this Clipper Creek model: http://www.clippercreek.com/store/product/hcs-50p-40-amp-ev-charging-station-25-ft-over-molded-cable-nema-6-50/

The electrician that I am planning to use has an Eaton model installed at their office and so they are familiar with it. They are essentially the same price (just $10 difference). I would prefer a model with a plug already installed. I had also considered a Schneider, but their representatives have said they recommend hard-wired installations only (I know that many people do install a plug on Schneiders but I would prefer not to, just in case there are warranty issues).

Any thoughts? I know this is a topic that is constantly discussed, but I wanted to get some more recent info.

thanks.

One of them is a 30A unit and the other one is a 40A unit. The 40A unit will need a 50A breaker and I'd go that route to "future proof" my purchase if your panel has the capacity for a 50A breaker. I got the JuiceBox 40 PRO for the same reason and have been happy with it. It's cheaper and is a "connected EVSE" as an additional benefit.

Thanks, I'll add that one to my list of candidates

It says "Out of stock" and I see no way to purchase it.

I bought one from them about 6 weeks ago. They are good people.

The Eaton is a very well built unit made by a well known supplier of commercial Electrical gear.

At $399 I think it's a great buy for a UL listed weatherproof device. If you want to convert it to plugin an inexpensive 40 amp stove cord for about $20 should easily convert it.

I ended up going with the Juicebox Pro 40 for $600. I had an electrician come out today and install the plug. For reference, that cost $248 plus $89 dispatch fee. I gt a 50 amp plug installed.

Great choice.

The install price is not bad at all. It really depends on the "run".

I had them put it right under the box, haha so it minimized the cost
