They also raised the prices from $599.00 to $649.00 for the 40-amp unit and from $549.00 to $619.00 for the JuiceBox 32, which needs to be taken into consideration. I think Enel X made some good upgrades and at the same time left room for improvement. Is it better than the previous unit? Probably, but not by much. Also, due to the added cable management and connector holster, the unit much bigger now than its predecessor and will have a larger footprint on the wall. While it's thinner than the previous version, it's also less flexible and becomes very stiff when it's cold. If you look at the picture above, you can see the cables from the other chargers seem to hang straight down, and the JuiceBox cable protrudes outward from the cable hanger before bending downwards because it is less flexible. This might not be an issue if you live in a warm-weather area, or if the charger is located in a heated garage, but it should be a consideration if you live in a cold-weather area and the unit is going to be mounted outdoors. This cable is one of the least flexible cables we've come across.Īfter leaving the cable outside overnight in 32-degree temperatures, it was stiff and hard to manage, more so than the cables on most other chargers. One of the things we check on EVSE is how pliable the cable is in cold temperatures. Enel X listened to customer feedback and the new JuiceBox now has a thinner cable.
It was much thicker than other 32-amp and 40-amp EVSE on competing brands. One of the biggest complaints of the previous JuiceBox was how thick the cable was. Perhaps the biggest improvement is that the JuiceBox can now perform over the air upgrades, which will allow Enel X to add new features to the unit as they develop them.
