Our next door neighbors turned in their Bolt and bought the gorgeous Lex RZ350e which uses the NACS recepticle.
They used the adapter for awhile, but the adapter does not fit well. Perhaps they over-pulled or pushed it?
We tried out Tesla Wallcharger and the NACS plug worked fine; no issues.

Can the Juicebox cable/connector be swapped to the NACS style or should they plan on a new Wall charger?
You may already know Juicebox is outta business.

Thanks in advance!
 
I would think the standard J1772 to NACS adapter Teslas come with should work for charging.

I would think picking up one of those would be the easiest solution.
 
Generically/theoretically yes - the problem is the charger-end of the cables aren’t standard on how it connects to the charger itself.

I’d try another adapter first. Is it possible they got a cheapo adapter? I’d get a quality Lectron or A2Z adapter. I’ve been running a Lectron NACS-to-J1772 adapter for 2 years and it’s been perfect.

Beyond that it might be time to upgrade to a new & supported unit. Does your utility give rebates on EVSE units? Is so, it might be a cheap upgrade just to have an electrician swap units.

Quality NACS cables are about $200 (like a ChargePoint), vs. $500 for a whole new EVSE. Ultimately you’re only spending $300 extra over a new cord.
