Juice Booster

Has anyone had experience of this kit, is it as effective as a wall charger? I like the idea but not sure if it holds up in practice, claims to charge at 22kw and will charge most cars in 4-5 hrs.

I have seen the marketing stuff.
It might work for some people if you need to swap around your charging source from 13A plug to 32A socket.
But, it just looks like it adds cost, and further points of failure by using 'intermediate' proprietry connectors.

I don't have full technical details, but from the published spec, it looks like your 32A outlet will need a ground rod or other broken PEN protection.
It isn't cheap!

Can't you still get the Ohme via Octopus for £200?

It just looks like a bunch of adaptors for different types of chargers? Where does the electricity come from?

They're very good but not much use in a typical home. More of a business / industry thing.

If you have single phase then you won't get 22kW. And very few cars will take it anyway.
