How to enjoy a road trip in an EV – avoiding range anxiety

After two years of the pandemic, it is possible to travel again, but this is true only in theory. At the airports it is chaos and passengers these days are having a nightmare: flights are canceled or delayed, strikes, luggage delivery is a lottery, and long queues. The reason is staff and resource shortage. Especially Heathrow, Britain’s busiest airport, is struggling to manage the demand rebound after the pandemic. Faced with the eventuality to be stuck at the airport, many people will be tempted - or even forced - to change their travel plans, and they’re maybe more likely to take more road trips.

In the meantime, Britain is fully committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions overall by 2050 and the new target will require drivers to switch to electric vehicles. The RAC estimates that there are already around five hundred thousand zero-emission Battery Electric Vehicles on the UK's roads, and with increasing consumer demand also the number of places to charge an electric car is growing rapidly. While public charging points are becoming more widespread, it will still be some time before a comprehensive, broad-scale charging infrastructure is available. For those who do not want to depend solely on the public grid, Juice Technology believes that whatever your destination, you will never be afraid of running out of power while traveling by electric car. All you need is a portable charging solution, as energy is available everywhere, it just needs to be made accessible. This is what Juice Booster 2 does.

Here are 3 top reasons why drivers should rely on Juice Booster 2:

Charging flexibility: Juice Booster 2 makes topping up an EV as easy as charging a smartphone. With this charger and its range of country-specific adapters, you can connect your electric car to any standard household or industrial socket anywhere in the world.  Whether it is a hotel, a restaurant, or a friend’s house, you just will need a socket and connect the cable. It recognises the adapter inserted and adjusts the power automatically. It is also a 3-in-1 solution that, in addition to working as a portable charging station for traveling, works as a type 2 charging cable for public charging stations and as a fixed wall charger for the garage, where the car is usually parked longer.

Quality: Its light weight of one kilo (excluding cables) makes it handy and a practical space-saving solution when traveling. It is also built tough. In fact, its body is made of aluminium, which makes the charger resistant to the passage of vehicles and able to support more than 3 tonnes of load per wheel, impacts, and dust. It is not only splash-proof, but also completely waterproof (IP67 rated).

Safety: The Juice Booster 2 allows single-phase to three-phase charging, from 1.4 to 22kW, with up to 32 amps, enabling the vehicle to be fully charged in 3-4 hours in ideal conditions. Its household adapters are all equipped with the patented Juice Celsius temperature monitoring system, ensuring safe and reliable charging even from normal household socket outlets. If the plug detects any potential overheating, it immediately can shut down the charging process in a controlled manner.
