Mine have a 3 year, 3 month warranty (extra 3 months for registering product). Both will still be under warranty on October 11th...

Clearly we need to steal the infinity stone….I bought my JuiceBox Pro 40 in 2015 for $599 when there weren't nearly as many options as there are today. As part of the package purchasing my Nissan Leaf, I got a $500 rebate through Nissan for the hardware and a $250 rebate through my utility for installation. Since my BIL is an electrician, it cost me parts plus dinner (About $400). At about $250 for 9 1/2 years of operation, I think that $2.20/month has been a good deal and do not regret the purchase at all.
The JuiceBox does not require any cloud connectivity to work as a standard EVSE, so it will continue to do so after they close the doors. I'll lose access to analytics and charge records, but IMHO, it's a nice to have, not a must have. If the JuiceBox died today, It owes me nothing after the 3000+ charging sessions it's completed successfully.
Every device has an End of Life, even if the company is still around. How many times have you had to replace a printer because it has outlasted a few generations of Windows? How many cell phones have you replaced not because the hardware has gone bad, but simply because the manufacturer no longer provides updates and eventually the apps you need are no longer supported on the old version of the OS?
No one promised me anything beyond the warranty period of 1 year on the JuiceBox and I've gotten nearly 10x that lifetime. It's disappointing that JuiceBox/Enel X Way USA is about to wink out of existence, but as you point out, it is inevitable.
Mine I purchased in June. So it might still charge, but 1 of the important functions is tracking my kwh consumption. My meter does the house and charger. I don't have a sub meter. Uncle Sam is not going to be happy if I can't vouch for power write off, but maybe I can just use a 2.4 mpkw formula.Mine have a 3 year, 3 month warranty (extra 3 months for registering product).

I don't need to monitor my kWh or anything, I bought my JB40 since it was the best price when my power company was offering deals. If I did, this would suit me nicely since I went with the plug-in kind: https://a.co/d/d6BwC3h I'm sure they have hardwired versions of the same thing if you need to track.Mine I purchased in June.

Looks like it would work. But poor reviews and only supplied with 10 gauge wire.I don't need to monitor my kWh or anything, I bought my JB40 since it was the best price when my power company was offering deals.

Hello,For what it's worth, we're working on putting new hardware inside the old units - but I'm also open to people who have the brains to write new firmware to give us access to stock units.
