Enel X Way 4+

At the end of the day, this is supposed to be a glorified phone charger with a built-in timer. However, having it haphazardly connect to this half-baked app renders it useless. The charger will stop delivering power to the EV without notification, so I’m scared to schedule it to charge off peak hours. The app won’t refresh stats properly, and it can’t provide a cost estimate. And if you don’t permit the app to track your location full-time, it makes you confirm your location ever time you log in. It’s absurd I cannot set a default location for my use. Frankly, the signup process is invasive enough considering it requires your precise address to get the charger to work. Of course, those are all problems that you only run into once the slow interface decides to work. I’m running an iPhone 12 Pro and charging a VW ID.4 via a 40amp JuiceBox for reference. The JuiceBox is within 10 feet of my router, protected from the elements, and the 14-50 NEMA outlet for the unit was professionally installed.

Like the last review, I had my charger for a while and was perfectly happy with it and had no issues.
One day it stopped working and after many attempts to get it to work I finally called customer service. They informed me that the app had migrated to the new EnelX Way app and that the old one with no longer work. They did this without ever informing me or as I’m assuming anyone else. I spent an hour and a half on the phone with her tech to try to get my car charger working and it finally did. However, the next day it did not work again. I have been on the phone on several occasions and have sent countless emails back-and-forth trying to get my every time they get it going again for a short time before it tells me that it won’t charge again. I keep getting error messages on the app saying “something went wrong”. I also got a message on my dashboard, saying to check the charger and my charging has been canceled. I don’t understand why this won’t just work. I also don’t understand why this company will not fix the problem immediately. I’m sure they’re getting overrun with complaints. All I want to do is charge my car and I can’t even do it. This app has been a disaster and is a complete piece of junk! who thought that plugging in your car to charge would be so difficult? shouldn’t we be able to just plug in our car and it charges? Why is there an app controlling this that is doing what it wants and shuts down the charging?

I’ve owned my JuiceBox for more than 3 years and was very happy with its operation as well as the previous JuiceBox app. I was forced to move to this Enel X Way sometime the middle of June. I wasn’t able to log in initially and (since it was new) patiently waited ~3 weeks before submitting a service ticket. My service ticket was submitted on 11 July. I am still unable to log in (now 29 July) and my ticket is unresolved. I have received sporadic responses from technical support despite my issue being upgraded to “Level 3” on 16 July.

I’m now making my voice heard publicly. Since my app isn’t working, and my JuiceBox went offline with the app change…I cannot adjust my charging schedule or preform on demand charging (not needed often in Hawaii). Yesterday I needed to supplement my normal charging for about 2hours, which I should have been able to do at home…nope, not currently due to this app issue. Due to my need and schedule, I had to find a Level 3 charging station and pay for the service. The cost of doing this isn’t and issue…it’s the fact I have the capacity to charge they way I need to at home…and I cannot currently. I was trying to pack for an international trip and could have easily done this at home…but I couldn’t and had to take additional time to go charge somewhere vs. doing it at home. Very frustrating.
