Elegant design and ease of use, a wall box which fits in your home and your fleet, JUICE CHARGER me is a smart wallbox-charger that allows the car to be charged up to 22kW. The elegant design is given by a simple style and a compact and square shape.

Its sleek appearance makes it as much a charging station as a piece of furniture. The housing combines a sophisticated finish with high mechanical strength that makes this device suitable for use indoors and outdoors, especially UV-resistant, thanks to a frame of chromium steel and a front panel of polycarbonate glass.

Unlike other stations, the JUICE CHARGER me takes up very little space (only 24 cm long and 12 cm deep) and it is extremely light (only 6.5 kg including the cable).

What makes this charging station unique is its simplicity which is also reflected in its functionality. The main advantage of the JUICE CHARGER me is just how quickly and easily it can be installed. The charging station leaves the factory completely configured and ready for use at home as well in a multi-unit configuration serving multistorey car parks and fleet car-park areas up to 250 units.

This ease continues during the charging process. Color-coded LEDs with self-explanatory symbols indicate the status to the user: operational readiness, activation by RFID card, active charging operation.

In case of multi-unit configuration, the device takes control of equally distributing the available current to all the other stations. And wherever greater flexibility is needed, the infinitely scalable smartJUICE omni-dynamic load management system can be deployed to optimum advantage, offering real-time monitoring, or prioritizing of individual vehicles, for example.

The JUICE CHARGER me units communicate via the Ethernet cable not only with each other but also with the j+ back-end system in public facilities. The standardized Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) provides the backbone for connection to the j+ back-end system, enabling device management, remote maintenance, billing, and/or load management.

Three standardized interfaces (Modbus/TCP, Modbus/RTU, and EEBUS) ensure communication with a Home Energy Management System. This allows integration of photovoltaic solar-power installations into home energy management systems and external load management control.
