Setting JuiceBox Charging Times Posted on August 20, 2019 08:44:36.

Set JuiceBox Charging Times

Our Time of Use PG&E electric rates are higher 3-9 PM, so it is best to not charge during these times to save money and reduce grid load. We have not figured out how to get the eGolf to not charge during these times even when plugged in, but our eMotorWerks JuiceBox EVSE is hooked up to our WiFi and can be configured to limit charge times.

To disable not charging during time of use peak rates:
- Go to home.juice.net.
- Log in — need to know username and password.
- Under JuiceBox, click More Details.
- Click Settings.
- Under Schedule:
o click Time-of-Use to toggle off.
o Click Update.
- Log Out.

To configure JuiceBox to not charge 3-9 PM:
- Go to home.juice.net.
- Log in.
- Under JuiceBox, click More Details.
- Click Settings.
- Under Schedule:
o Click Time-of-Use to toggle on.
o Set Weekday Start 9 PM, end 3 PM.
o Set Weekend Start 9 PM, end 8:59 PM.
o Click Update.
- Log Out.

Don’t use the JuiceBox Phone App to do this, we can’t get it to work.

How to add the JuiceBox to our WiFi is not included here; requires logging on ti its WiFi the first time it booted.
