JuiceBox Alternative Canada
JuiceBox No Longer Supported? Here's the Best Canadian Replacement.
Enel X Way exited the North American market in 2024, leaving JuiceBox owners without app support or warranty coverage. The PionPower Flex-AC delivers the same 9.6kW Level 2 output — portable, no installation, and backed by an active Canadian team.
Why Canadian EV Owners Are Looking for a JuiceBox Alternative
The JuiceBox was a popular smart Level 2 EV charger with good app features and reliable hardware. But in 2024, Enel X Way — the company that made it — shut down its North American operations. That left JuiceBox owners facing three problems:
- 1.App features are unsupported. Scheduling, energy monitoring, and remote control all depend on Enel X Way servers. With the company gone, these features are at risk of failing permanently.
- 2.Warranty claims are effectively impossible. There is no longer a North American support channel to handle defects or replacements.
- 3.It was always hardwired and wall-mounted. Like all fixed Level 2 chargers, the JuiceBox cannot move with you, cannot plug into a standard 120V outlet, and required a licensed electrician to install.
Why the PionPower Flex-AC Is the Best JuiceBox Replacement
Actively supported in Canada
Enel X Way exited North America in 2024 — JuiceBox's app servers and warranty support are no longer maintained. PionPower is a Canadian company with active customer service and a regularly updated app.
Works as Level 1 AND Level 2
Plug into any 120V outlet for Level 1 (1.4kW) or a 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet for Level 2 (up to 9.6kW). The JuiceBox is a hardwired Level 2 charger — it cannot use a standard 120V outlet.
No electrician required
The Flex-AC plugs in — zero installation. The JuiceBox must be hardwired by a licensed electrician, typically adding $300–$800 to the cost in Canada.
Portable — take it anywhere
The Flex-AC includes NEMA 14-50 and NEMA 5-15 adaptors and weighs under 2 kg. Charge at home, at a cottage, or on the road. The JuiceBox is permanently wall-mounted.
App with a future
The Pion Power app is actively maintained with Wi-Fi control, off-peak scheduling, GreenMiles tracking, and real-time energy monitoring. JuiceBox app support has been discontinued.
Certified to CSA & UL standards
The Flex-AC is certified to CSA C22.2 No. 280, UL 2594, UL 2231-1/2231-2, and Energy Star — equivalent safety standards to the JuiceBox (cUL Listed), from an active Canadian manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is JuiceBox still supported in Canada?
No. Enel X Way, the company behind JuiceBox, exited the North American market in 2024. Existing chargers may continue to function as basic chargers but app-dependent features — scheduling, monitoring, energy tracking — rely on servers that are no longer actively maintained. Warranty claims are also difficult to fulfil. If you are looking for a JuiceBox replacement, the PionPower Flex-AC offers comparable 9.6kW Level 2 output with an actively maintained Canadian app and 2-year warranty.
What is the best JuiceBox alternative in Canada?
The PionPower Flex-AC is the best JuiceBox alternative for Canadian EV owners. Unlike the JuiceBox, the Flex-AC works on both 120V (Level 1) and 240V (Level 2) outlets, requires no professional installation, and is backed by an active Canadian company. It delivers up to 9.6kW on Level 2 and ships free across Canada.
Will a JuiceBox still work without the app?
A JuiceBox will continue to pass power to your vehicle as a basic charger, but smart features — scheduled charging, off-peak timing, energy tracking, and remote control — all depend on Enel X Way's cloud infrastructure. With the company exiting North America, these features are at risk of stopping at any time, and there is no support channel to restore them.
Does the PionPower Flex-AC work like a JuiceBox?
Yes, and in several ways it is better. Both deliver 40A / 9.6kW on Level 2. The Flex-AC adds Level 1 (120V) capability so you can charge on a standard outlet, is portable so you can take it on the road, and requires no electrician installation. The Pion Power app is actively developed and supported by a Canadian team.
