Hi Bruce, What is your interest in getting this Juicebox fixed? Is it available as public charger or do you want to enable that Dr to charge at work again?
The battery-shaped JuiceBox was the very first design of EMW, they did a kickstarter for it a couple years ago. I participated but instead of the Pro (AA cell shape) I got a standard Juicebox, which is a square grey alu box. Works pretty well but I am not so sure about the weather-proofing if not very carefully assembled. Also there have been a number of revs on the design to deal with some flaws in the original design. Even if the electronics board inside is toast, it may be possible to re-use the contactor if it is not corroded away. Doubtful that the power supply is in any better shape than the circuit board, as neither is weather protected beyond the enclosure keeping the rain out, so condensation can easily do it in. Since this is a Pro, it has a display and WiFi and is supposed to connect to an Access Point (wireless router) to manage the device.

On a referral, I went to a (SF peninsula) Dr.'s office to set up an appt. On the way in, I saw mounted on a tall (patients only) parking sign pole a EMW Juicebox 40 Pro 10kW EVSE. It looked like it had been there for some time, as the exterior was a little faded, and the lock on the small breaker box mounted below it that fed the EVSE showed rust. So, someone must have had paid an Electrician to come out and install it there a year+ ago. It is not the current 40 pro model, perhaps last year's, and looks similar to [ http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41JENJBLwPL.jpg ]. After filling out and turning in the myriad of patient forms to the front desk, and getting my appointment for next week, I asked about the EVSE I saw. She (the receptionist) said it was the Dr's, that he drives a Tesla, but it (the EVSE) is not working. She was a little EV interested for her boss' sake, but not much beyond that. So, I did not prod her for more detail (like what was wrong, is the EVSE broken, what model Tesla: S, X, Roadster, etc.). I will have to wait until my appt. find that out. In the meantime, I thought I would explore what the repairing of that older version of 40 Pro would involve. I'll assume its repair would need an Electrician to remove it from the pole and get it to EMW: https://emotorwerks.com/products/juicebox 846 Bransten Rd San Carlos, CA 94070 1-844-584-2329 [email protected] I called them and selected support from their voice menu tree, only getting their voice mail (understandable since it is Sat.). I am hoping they shoot me an email with their details before Mon early morn. A resolve of any kind will include the cost of having an Electrician come do the work. Since the cost of EVSE has dropped, it might be more overall cost effective to just replace it with a 6kW EVSE(?). http://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-EV-Charger-Indoor-Outdoor-Level-2-DuraStat ion-Wall-Mount-with-18-ft-Cord-EVDSWGH-CP01/205808537?cm_mmc=Shopping%7c THD%7cG%7c0%7cG-VF-PLA-D27E-Electrical%7c&gclid=CJzymaDNiNICFcRgfgodLKQN zQ&gclsrc=aw.ds $400 6kW DuraStation Wall Mount with 18 ft.
