After the JUICE BOOSTER 2 emerged as the comparison winner among the wallboxes a year ago, the JUICE CHARGER me follows suit this year in the 11 kW power class.

Juice Technology AG, manufacturer of charging stations and software, and leader in mobile charging stations for electric vehicles, has once again received top marks from the independent test and comparison portal Vergleich.org – this time for the JUICE CHARGER me. The fixed wallbox is the new price-performance winner for 11 kW models.

The stationary wallbox JUICE CHARGER me has only been on the market since last year and is already the price-performance winner among the 11 kW wallboxes. After the JUICE BOOSTER 2 emerged as the comparison winner among all wallboxes on Vergleich.org in 2021 - as the only mobile charging station, by the way - it is now also the bestseller among the 13 best 22 kW wallboxes.

A winner for worry-free charging at home
To charge an electric car overnight, a wallbox with an output of 11 kW is usually sufficient - apart from that, over 90 percent of the electric cars available on the market are only designed for a maximum charging output of 11 kW. Accordingly, 11 kW models are also approved for government subsidies such as those from the German KfW, although 22 kW charging stations are the most common variant. To enable maximum flexibility in terms of wallboxes, Juice developed the JUICE CHARGER me in two versions (11 kW/22 kW).

The wallbox can be installed in no time at all, is considered energy-saving and is one of the first wallboxes on the market to already have the new ISO15118 standard, which enables plug-and-charge.

Customers in Focus
The comparison at Vergleich.org shows that, in addition to the equipment, the charging time and safety aspects are also important for the evaluation. On the other hand, ease of use is also important to customers. It should not matter whether a charging station is portable or stationary.

Christoph Erni, CEO and founder of Juice Technology AG, underlines the importance of customer reviews: "The verdict of the independent portal Vergleich.org is particularly important to us because it is based primarily on the reviews of customers who use the device every day." Erni is pleased that the verdict from Vergleich.org once again confirms his company's strategy: "What has distinguished Juice from the very beginning is the principle that we always develop our devices from the user's perspective. As you can see: high quality, user-friendliness and a reasonable price-performance ratio are not mutually exclusive."

An independent judgment
The online consumer magazine Vergleich.org compares ratings from reputable test sources with customer reviews from popular mail order companies. The values ​​collected in this way are weighted and result in a final value that is checked by the editorial team. In order to guarantee uniform quality standards, Vergleich.org has an ISO 9001 certificate for quality management from TÜV Süd. All comparisons, test reports and guides for everyday products and services are independent and transparent. Vergleich.org focuses on the relative price-performance ratio: if the quality is better, the price can also be proportionally higher.

The most important advantages of the JUICE CHARGER me at a glance:

    1. Small format: The JUICE CHARGER me is particularly compact with an edge length of 24 cm and a depth of 12 cm and is also very light, weighing just 6.5 kg (including cable). A 5 m cable ensures the necessary flexibility.
    2. Charging power: Single to three-phase charging with six to 32 amps results in a charging power of up to 22 kW. For public funding (e.g. KfW), there is a variant with 16 amps and a power output of 11 kW.
    3. Plug and Play: The wallbox is completely preconfigured at the factory and ready for immediate use, so that only minimal setup effort is required.
    4. Plug and Charge: The JUICE CHARGER me is certified according to ISO 15118. When connected to the charging socket, the charging station automatically recognizes any car that already has the Plug and Charge standard and starts the charging process directly.
    5. Charging and load management: Local dynamic charging management in master-slave operation is on board for up to 250 charging stations. The cloud-based omnidynamic charging management smartJUICE is available for up to an infinite number of units. A MID-certified meter is integrated into every device intended for operation with charging/load management.
    6. Connectivity: The standardized Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) forms the backbone for the connection to the j+ backend and enables device management, remote maintenance, billing or load management. Three standardized interfaces (Modbus/TCP, Modbus/RTU and EEBUS) ensure communication with a home energy management system. This allows the photovoltaic system to be integrated into the home energy management and external load management control. All communication takes place via the Ethernet connection. However, for use as a private individual charging station, no permanent network connection is required and operation is therefore also possible without a LAN connection. A notebook can simply be connected for updates.
    7. Well thought-out and safe design: The JUICE CHARGER me has a front made of UV-resistant polycarbonate glass. This makes the charger suitable for indoor and outdoor use and highly shock-resistant. The device can be used at outside temperatures between -25°C and +45°C. Its temperature sensor for reducing the charging current works regardless of the ambient temperature. The charging station is CE-compliant according to the two EMC guidelines IEC 61851 and IEC 61439-7.
    8. Installation: The JUICE CHARGER me can be attached to the wall as a wall box, but can also be mounted individually or in pairs on a stele.
    9. Activation: An RFID reader is integrated behind the front panel. Activation via RFID is for all cars that do not support the ISO standard 15118 for 'Plug and Charge'. The two cards supplied can be easily blocked and replaced if lost. Alternatively, the access data can also be transferred to an RFID badge.
    10. Price: EUR/CHF 999,-


The most important advantages of the JUICE BOOSTER 2 at a glance:

    1. Charge at any socket: With the adapters of the JUICE BOOSTER 2, the electric car can be charged at any conventional household and industrial socket and also at public charging stations worldwide.
    2. Automatic power detection: The charger is always set to the optimal charging power. This prevents sockets from being overloaded.
    3. Automatic overheating protection: For all household adapters, the JUICE BOOSTER 2 permanently monitors the temperature on both plug pins.
    4. The JUICE BOOSTER 2 is absolutely waterproof (IP 67) and can be driven over with a wheel load of up to three tons.
    5. JUICE CONNECTOR adapter plug: This is CE-compliant and designed to also cover future functions. The investment in the JUICE BOOSTER 2 and the adapters should be sustainable.
    6. TÜV SÜD-tested: The JUICE BOOSTER 2 is the first mobile charging station in the 22 kW power class worldwide that is TÜV SÜD-tested according to IEC 62752 Ed. 1 2016 including AMD1 2018.
    7. In the Pro version, the JUICE BOOSTER 2 also has interchangeable adapters on the vehicle side.
