JuiceBox
A once-popular smart charger — capable hardware, but check the support situation before you buy.
JuiceBox chargers were everywhere a few years ago, and the hardware itself is solid — 240V charging up to 48A, plug-in or hardwired, with a long cable. The catch is the company behind it: Enel X Way wound down its North American operations in late 2024, which threw the future of the JuiceBox app and cloud features into doubt. The unit will still charge your car, but treat the smart-charging side as uncertain and check the current state of support before you commit.
Enel X Way (JuiceBox's parent in North America) shut down US operations in late 2024. The chargers still work as basic Level 2 units, but smart features and warranty support may be unavailable. We list it because people search for it — not as a current recommendation.
The good
- +Capable hardware up to 48A
- +Plug-in or hardwired
- +Long charging cable
The trade-offs
- –Enel X Way exited the US market in late 2024 — app/cloud support is uncertain
- –Buy with eyes open; confirm current support
What does it cost to install a JuiceBox?
Expect $550–$950 in labor and standard materials, plus $50–$400 for the electrical permit. That's on top of the charger itself, and it assumes the unit goes up reasonably close to your panel.
The brand on the box barely moves that number — the install is the same job either way: a dedicated 240V circuit, a breaker sized to the charger, and an inspection. What does move it is how far the cable has to travel and whether your panel has room. See installation cost by state, or check your state's rebates — many cover part of it.
