That Jag with the tan interior looks so good.

The JB obviously can work with both 230V and 400V. In this case it is pulling 5.7 kW on single phase, but it could pull 10kW on 25A 230V three phase AC.
In rural areas where the electrical distribution is not 400V TN three phase, they sometimes only have 230V three phase without neutral and in those cases the fuses are always double.
Since the JB can turn off the grounded-neutral check, I expect it can work without the neutral as well.
I own an old house way north that was built before the war and it has a 3 phase entry point in the house. It is just not connected as 3 phase.
There is also an area in the middle of Reykjavik where they have no 400V but only 230V in three phase. So those configurations are common and I would expect the developers of JB to anticipate those different electrical distribution system configurations.

I think some iPace buyers can afford a 20 kw dc charger at home. They seem to cost about $10, 000 right now, but that should come down over time. The onboard charger will not charge fast enough for people on the go. Alternatively, iPace should offer upgrades to the onboard charger.

Nice review..
Yes, if you can afford a Jaguar, you can also afford a Juice Booster ;-)
For my Zoe, it is somehow overpriced..

In Europe, when you have 3x16A home connection (or similar), to reach a full speed of charging you need Accelev - 3 phase to 1-phase converter/charger.

Juicebooster 2 works best WITHOUT any additional non-JB adapters on the wall plug side, because if you use only the adapters that come with the JB, it will auto-sense the maximum current and the earthing status (important for Norway), if your wall outlets are installed correctly. JB adapters are coded for the appropriate specs of the type of wall outlet you plug them into...

Would be good to see more about the juicer booster especially on red plug 3ph 32a and charge rate received

are most EVs limited by single phase charging only. I would love to pull 22kw in to an E-Niro but I don’t think it is possible?? Or is it?? All replies very welcome.

You should also test the go-e Charger. Its less expensive than Juice Booster (760€) and it don't takes as much space, because you have a Type2 outlet on the charger, where you can use your own charging cable.

25A is actually a very good rate for a home setup.

[Jjengering]

What about a charge limiter for the ipace? Surely charging to 100% all the time is bad

[jOeLwAlBy]

Juice booster is most useful for Renault Zoes as they can charge 22kw and 43kw AC depending on the motor R or Q. Even most teslas dont charge at 22kw AC. But it costs like £1000 or so and I only bought my zoe for £4000 so for me it certainly makes no sense for the price haha

[nosoupforyou]

Whishe they made a USA version w/adapters. Cheers

So Juice "booster" is just a charging "limiter"? (To avoid tripping the breakers)

[fergus]

The i-pace has such a small bonnet so how does it do in crash tests? How can it absorb any blows?

[jannemyllyla]

It could become first ever booster run over by both mx and ip

[yodagerhard]

The Juce Booster has no app, therefore i prefer go-eCharger or NRGkick
NRGKick is smaller as Juce Booster

[esunisen]

Can juice booster convert 3 phase to single phase ? Like, can you use 400V 16A to charge at 230V 32A ?

I looked in manual but didn't find.

Du hast mit Teslamarcus ein Interview gemacht,

Are you really sure it doesn’t fit in the frunk?
