So one of our two corporate JetCharge ChargeMate units, not even three years old, has failed. JetCharge doesn't sell the units now and it's looking like they don't even repair units out of warranty any more. So,

Who can recommend a type 2 EV charger, available in Australia, 3-phase 32 A ("22 kW"), that can be operated in non-smart "plug it in and it charges" mode? Not Tesla brand.

@Kels_316 @futzle I've got an Ocular Smart Charger which is good enough https://evse.com.au/home-ev-charging/ They're a Chinese charger, white labeled with Australian software support that's actually pretty good. Those Charge Mates were shit. This is a question I get a lot at work and my general response is; I can't honestly say any AC chargers are Good. The Ocular hasn't broken after a few years, that's a pass at least

@Kels_316 @futzle That Plug and Charge feature you want is configurable in the Ocular. Make sure the sparky commissions it properly

@evcricket @Kels_316 @futzle I have the Ocular (7kW version) and it's not bad. Plugs and charges for me.

Also talks to Home Assistant (via OCPP) and Amber, if that's important.

@shermozle OOI how does the Amber integration work?

@voltagex Oh actually I should clarify that. Wasn''t thinking it through. Amber controls the _car_ which requests a charge. So the charger isn't really doing much there. My bad.
