[EVDL] Juicebox contactor problem

2016-01-31 Thread Rush Dougherty via EV
Hi all, A friend has a Juicebox, one of the earlier ones, and when he plugged the power cord in, I heard a thunk, thunk, like the contactor was engaging and disengaging. I asked him if that was new and he said nope, whenever I plug it in it does that. So I guess it was doing a contactor test.

I also have a JuiceBox and it has always cycled the main relay when you reset the unit, or apply power. The relay is closed for a very short time. The relay is cycled if the EVSE is connected to the car or not. Mine was a kit and I have had it for some time now but I recall that characteristic

There are two ways to look at this problem: From an engineering point of view, and from a marketing/legal perspective. From an engineering standpoint, there is no doubt that a safe high-performance 4-passenger EV could be built that's under 1000 lbs. Reducing the weight scales down the whole
