KB Electric LLC installs numerous electric vehicle (EV) chargers throughout the southeastern region of Pennsylvania (Montgomery County, Berks County, Chester County, Bucks County, Delaware County, Pennsylvania). One brand of electric vehicle charger that customers purchase for us to install is the JuiceBox EV Charger.

What should I do if I own a JuiceBox EV charger?
From an electrician’s point of view, it is recommended to replace the JuiceBox EV chargers with a different brand if the main selling point of your car charger is the smart software to control the charging from your smartphone.
