@cray_guy I also am curious to the answer to this question. How did you have an electrician wire the split to share the circuit?
The Juicebox in load sharing configurations are wired like how the Tesla Gen 2 HPWC are wired, there needs to be a junction box that splits the circuit between the two Juicebox units. But instead of having a separate communication wire between the units, the Juicebox requires connection to internet and the JuiceNet site actually controls the load sharing configuration.
When the setup is working correctly, each Juicebox is allocated 7 amps. If you plug in your Juicebox into your Tesla, it will check if the other Juicebox is in use and start charging at 7 amps. If the other Juicebox is not in use, it will ramp up to full charging rate.
If you plug in another car into the another Juicebox in the load sharing group, then that Juicebox will check into the JuiceNet cloud and reduce the charging current of the first Juicebox by 7 amps and then the start charging at 7 amps. Then it will ramp up again and ramp down the first Juicebox until both units each have half of the circuit capacity.
While Enel X has some documentation about the load sharing setup on their website, I feel like it is a bit out of date. Their documentation says each car starts at 6 amps, and in talking with their customer service, they said it was raised to 7 amps because some cars don't work correctly at 6 amps.
If you have two cars that are charging and one car finishes charging, then the Juicebox allocates 7 amps to the car that has finished charging and the reminder of the circuit capacity to the car that is still charging.
I currently have this setup, but I am not sure if I would recommend it right now.
The Juicebox firmware and the JuiceNet system seem to be buggy. I don't know if it is a recent problem, or if it has always been this way, but I've run into several issues. I don't think most people have these issues since most people don't have the load sharing groups set up.
I found that if I set TOU charging on the Juicebox, but decided I wanted to override that schedule, it would override the load sharing current limits as well. This is a fire hazard. If you accidentally stop charging in the app and then swipe back to start charging, you would run into the same issue.
Also a few days ago, Enel X changed their load sharing algorithm and then my two cars would not draw more than 7 amps, instead of sharing the capacity of the circuit. I reported this bug and the previous one to Enel X and it looks like they fixed this problem for now; I don't know if they fixed the load sharing override bug.
But now, both of my Juicebox units won't connect to Wifi. I had a Wifi outage at my house and when it came back online, neither Juicebox would connect to it. On top of that, neither Juicebox would enter Wifi setup mode either, so I couldn't change the Wifi network either.
And neither of my Juicebox units will allow any cars to charge. The documentation says that if communication is lost, the units should charge at 6 amps. At least with the current firmware, that doesn't appear to be the case. I've reached out to Enel X technical support and they have been helpful with troubleshooting, but it looks like the units need to be swapped out.
Since I am still in the return period, I am going to try to return them. When the setup is working, it works pretty well. But in one week, I've run into several bugs that need to be fixed, and I don't want to be their QA department for something as essential as vehicle charging.
