I was able to get much better placement for the JuiceBox charger since everything lined up with my existing outlet installation. If you select the ChargePoint Flex, have the electrician install the outlet "upside down" so that you'll have the full range of the power cord at your disposal. The shorter input cord of the Flex severely limits where you can place it on the wall. The Flex, on the other hand, only has a 12-inch power cord the "maximum allowed" according to their website (t hey may want to contact Enel X and find out what standard they're following that lets them use a cord twice as long). This is essential, since the outlet certainly isn't going anywhere and most electricians will install your 14-50 outlet with the ground facing up. Juicebox's longer input cord gives you more leeway to position it better on the wall. It came mostly assembled while the ChargePoint Flex was "some assembly required" for the final fit and finish.īeing the larger unit, you'd think that Juicebox would take a back seat when it came to ease of installation. ![]() Out of the box, JuiceBox took an early lead. It's nice enough, but you have to wonder how much wasted space is in that unit when the ChargePoint Flex serves the same purpose, but requires only a fraction of the space.ĬhargePoint's compact design is the clear winner here. The cord hangout and charger holder sit below the main unit, making the entire assembly take up even more space. ![]() Despite the fact that the main body of the charging unit is about the same size as the ChargePoint Flex, the "rounded rectangle" design makes it feel bulkier. The Juicebox 40, on the other hand, is large.
