Anyone have trouble with the remote heating not turning on via CarNet?

Yeah. The folks at JuiceBox said car manufacturers don't follow the J1772 standard, which should allow remote charging to be controlled by the charger, which would allow the "green" feature of the Juice Box Green to work. Luckily I am able to set the delayed charging on the CarNet app and web...

The CarNet delayed charging works for me with a JuiceBox green. As far as I know, you must use the car's delayed charging. You cannot use the charger's delayed charging.

My Juice Box Green works fine using the e-Golf's delayed charging. [But that does not take advantage of the JB's picking the greenest charging time].

EV sales seem to go up and down monthly. According to the Inside EV report, there isn't a lot of e-Golf inventory [?] Also low gas prices discourage electric car sales. I was interested in the i3, but the more I look at it, the less I like it. What VW did was terrible, but I'm not sure it would...

I have a plugin Juice Box Green. It was $599 and comes with a 24ft cable. Its enclosure is indeed non-aesthetic, but sturdy and military-like. I think e-Motorwerks is concerned with getting a good product out there for a good price. Interesting how some people want an attractive charger, but...

Thanks for the info. I noticed the price of my JuiceBox Green went up and back down to what I paid for it. The company seemed fairly responsive to a question I had.....

The decrease in time to charge up is dramatic, isn't it?

The VW dealer must like you. ;)

Wow, a premium brand like MB doesn't even have DC charging or delayed charging or an app that works?? I guess they just threw something together while they're working on the next big thing. The MB is supposed to have a "Tesla drivetrain", but I guess that's all.

I wrote EMotorworks about the Juicebox Green delayed charging and they responded promptly. Yeah, looks like VW will have to upgrade their software to let an external device control the delayed charging. Wonder if they'll ever enable that? EMotorwerks response: "The VW has a sleeping issue...

Stretch2727 - Is that the case with your B-Class Electric as well?

FWIW, there is a "solution brief" on how the Green Juice Box works. I believe you set a charging period and Juice Box will pick out the "greenest" charging period. With the e-Golf and probably some other BEV's if you set the delayed charging from the charger, it won't charge, as the connection...

I got one. Works nicely. At the time it cost the same as the non-green. I don't know that it's worth paying extra for the Green version . I think you can use this model if you want to meter your electric car power usage separately, using the Watt Box submeter. I use the car's delayed charging...

Let's hope that we have to worry about rain this winter in the Bay Area Kevin!

Unbelievable.

True, though the niceness of the e-Golf makes it tempting to want to hang onto it. I have the option to buy it anywhere along the line. Which brings up the issues of how much of the battery capacity will be gone after 3 years and the resale value of electric cars with used batteries. [You may be...

I had wondered if the rear lights were already LED, but I guess not. Isn't the license plate light LED? And would LED's play havoc with the turn signal speed, due to less resistance?
