Your JuiceBox still charges. The app is gone.

How this page is funded: we earn a commission if you buy through our Amazon links, at no extra cost to you. It does not change what we recommend, and we say plainly when the honest answer is to buy nothing. Full disclosure.

The verdict first, because this is the question people arrive with: if your JuiceBox charges your car and you do not use scheduling, keep it and do nothing. If you are on a time-of-use rate, or you want to see what charging costs, or the unit has begun throwing faults you cannot get support for, replace it with a connected 40 or 48 amp charger from a company that still exists. Our default pick for that is a 48 A unit with free app scheduling and no subscription.

What actually happened

Enel X Way North America announced in October 2024 that it was leaving the United States and Canadian markets, citing the financial environment. Customer service ended effective immediately and the mobile app was pulled from the app stores. The hardware was not remotely disabled -- but a connected charger with nothing to connect to is a plain charger, and that is what tens of thousands of JuiceBoxes became.

If you want to keep it: the honest options

• Schedule in the car, not the charger. Every EV sold in the last several years can set a departure time or a charging window itself. This replaces the single feature most JuiceBox owners miss, for nothing. Time-of-use charging explains how to line it up with your rate.
• Measure at the panel instead of in the app. A whole-home energy monitor with a sensor on the EV circuit reports what the charger actually used, which the app used to do and did less precisely.
• Do not expect third-party apps to be a full fix. Some owners have had partial success pairing a JuiceBox with other software. It is unsupported, it can stop working after any change, and nothing restores the warranty.
• Keep the physical current setting as it is. If an electrician set it to match your circuit, that setting is still protecting the circuit. Do not change the breaker and assume the charger will follow.

What to replace it with, and who each pick is for

One lesson worth taking from this: the feature that disappeared was the cloud feature. Certification, enclosure rating, cable length and current rating are properties of the hardware and cannot be switched off from a head office. Weight them accordingly next time. Do you need a smart EV charger argues the same point from the other direction.

If you are keeping the JuiceBox but the circuit is being reworked, note that a replacement does not have to match the old unit's amperage. Size it to the circuit and the car, not to what was there before: how many amps do you need.

Chargers that replace what the app did

Connected units with free scheduling and no subscription, from companies still operating in North America. Prices are live from Amazon and carry the date they were read.

1. A first charger, hardwired

E48A

Emporia Level 2 EV Charger (Classic)

Emporia · J1772 · 48 A / 11.5 kW · 25 ft cable

The safe default for a first home charger: 48 amps hardwired, a genuinely long cable, a NEMA 4 outdoor-rated case, and no subscription attached to the app.

What is good

• +48 A hardwired is the fastest tier most homes can realistically support
• +25 ft of cable reaches across a two-car garage without a fight
• +NEMA Type 4 enclosure is rated for outdoor mounting
• +Energy monitoring in the app with no subscription

What is not

• −Drops to 40 A if you use the NEMA 14-50 plug rather than hardwiring
• −The app is the only way to change the amperage setting

Published specifications for the Emporia Level 2 EV Charger (Classic)

Maximum output	48 A / 11.5 kW at 240 V (hardwired)
Plug-in output	40 A with the NEMA 14-50 plug
Connector	SAE J1772
Cable	25 ft
Enclosure	NEMA Type 4, indoor or outdoor
Certification	UL listed, Energy Star
Warranty	3 years

Skip this if: Skip it if you want a unit with no app or network connection at all. The Grizzl-E Classic is the simpler machine.

2. Grizzl-E toughness, with an app

Grizzl-E Classic Connect

United Chargers · J1772 · 40 A / 9.6 kW · 25 ft cable

The next-generation Grizzl-E: 40 A on a NEMA 14-50, a 25 ft cable, a UL Type 4 indoor/outdoor rating -- and, unlike the Classic, Wi-Fi and the Grizzl-E Connect app. Sold with a J1772 or NACS cable.

What is good

• +25 ft cable, a foot longer than the Classic Extreme Edition's
• +Wi-Fi app with schedules and charging statistics, which the Classic deliberately lacks
• +UL/cUL listed, with a published file number
• +Rated to run from -22 F to 122 F

What is not

• −40 A ceiling, with no hardwired 48 A version
• −Sold with a NEMA 14-50 plug; the Classic's 6-50 option is not among the Connect listings we found
• −The app needs 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi where the charger is mounted

Published specifications for the Grizzl-E Classic Connect

Maximum output	40 A / 9.6 kW at 240 V (the maker lists 10 kW)
Adjustable	16 A to 40 A
Connector	SAE J1772 or NACS, chosen at purchase
Cable	25 ft (7.6 m)
Plug	NEMA 14-50
Enclosure rating	UL Type 4, indoor and outdoor
Operating temperature	-22 F to 122 F
Size	10.25 x 6.25 x 3.75 in
Connectivity	Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) and the Grizzl-E Connect app
Certification	UL/cUL, file E510712
Warranty	3 years; 5-year warranty sold separately

Skip this if: Skip it if you wanted a Grizzl-E precisely because it has no app -- the original Classic is still the no-software choice -- or if you want 48 A. The Classic Connect is a 40 A plug-in unit.

3. Homes with an uncertain panel

C50A

ChargePoint Home Flex

ChargePoint · J1772 · 50 A / 12 kW · 23 ft cable

The most adjustable unit here. It can be set anywhere from 16 A to 50 A, which makes it the one to buy when you do not yet know what your panel will allow.

What is good

• +Six selectable amperage settings from 16 A to 50 A
• +Sold in both hardwired and NEMA 14-50 versions
• +Rated for indoor or outdoor installation
• +The app is mature and does not require a subscription

What is not

• −23 ft is a foot shorter than the longest cables in this group
• −The 50 A setting needs a bigger circuit than most panels have spare

Published specifications for the ChargePoint Home Flex

Maximum output	50 A / 12 kW at 240 V
Amperage settings	16, 24, 32, 40, 48 or 50 A
Connector	SAE J1772
Cable	23 ft
Installation	Hardwired or NEMA 14-50
Certification	UL listed, Energy Star
Warranty	3 years

Skip this if: Skip it if your circuit is already fixed and you just want the cheapest safe 40 A unit. You are paying for flexibility you will not use.
