CHECK OUT THIS DC FAST CHARGER WITH 180KWH BATTERY STORAGE! THIS IS THE ECAMION JULE CHARGER

EV Channels Review

This review of the eCAMION Jule DC Fast Charger highlights a promising concept with significant execution issues. The core idea of a 180kWh battery buffer to ease grid connection for fast charging is lauded, particularly for areas with limited high-power infrastructure. The modularity, potential for grid services like peak shaving, and customizable aesthetics are noted as positives. However, the primary takeaway is that the unit reviewed, despite being a new generation model and the first of its kind, did not work. This failure, coupled with the Electrify America station across the street also experiencing issues, underscores the broader problem of EV charging reliability. The reviewer points out limitations in the charging cables (200A maximum) which prevent the advertised 150kW output for most current EVs, suggesting a need for higher amperage cables in future iterations. The reliance on NACS connectors for payment is also criticized due to perceived unreliability, though the availability of Apple/Android pay is a plus. Ultimately, while the concept is innovative, the current implementation's lack of functionality and performance limitations detract from its appeal.
