Why California Utilities Love JuiceBox

The JuiceBox is specifically designed for utility integration. Enel X (the parent company) has partnerships with SCE, PG&E, and SDG&E for demand response programs — meaning your JuiceBox can automatically reduce charging during peak grid demand in exchange for bill credits. This makes it one of the most rebate-eligible chargers in California.
