Last month, we told you that we’d finally got our two eMotorWerks JuiceBoxes working independently of EnelX, the company which acquired eMotorWerks back in 2019, before announcing this year that it would be removing its support from the U.S. Marketplace.

Today, we’re going over a quick introduction as to how we made that happen, and how we regained control of our charging stations again.
