We're often asked which charging stations new EV owners should buy - and we've got a pretty good list of charging stations we're fans of.
The JuiceBox Charging stations used to be at the top of our list, thanks to their open-sourced origins, their ability to integrate with home automation systems, and their adaptability.
But for the past year or so, the product we once loved has become little more than a nightmare - and we're now planning on how we replace or re-engineer them.
