ClipperCreek vs. Siemens

Both are decent & I'd go with the savings.

I went with a JukeBox Pro 40 and love it. Charges my Prius in less than 2 hours from empty.

 

I think both of the questioned EVSE units are overkill for the Prime’s 3.3KW onboard charger, unless you have / plan to have a car that would make use of the full power of these units. Keep in mind that both of these units (I think) would require at least a 40 amp circuit which likely would be more expensive to install than a 30 amp circuit.

Having said this, either EVSE should be great for current EVs that can use either 6.6 or 7.2KW

 

IMO anyone who is going through the effort to install a level 2 charger should get a 32 amp charger for future proofing. Installing a 40 amp circuit isn't going to cost significantly more than a 30 amp circuit.

 

I'm a fan of the Chargepoint Home. They have 2 different cable lengths available and the cord can be swapped out with relative ease.

 

ahha! So the Clipper Creek & Siemens EVSE's were not really Apples to Apples after all. Good catch! future proofing & longer cable is always a better way to go. We recently had to remove our aerovironment cable because it was too short for charging 2 cars in the same driveway w/out shuffling them around every few days.

I got the ChargePoint Home charger with the longer, 25 ft cord. It may not be important to you, but the integrated usage reports with public ChargePoint stations was appealing to me. The home stations are treated like any other ChargePoint station, except only you can see your home station on the smartphone application or the ChargePoint Web site. The home station is set up (WiFi configuration and such) using Bluetooth to the Chargepoint smartphone application.

 

Remember to call Digsafe first!
