You probably don’t know your Jeep 4xe typically pulls about 32A, so many 48A chargers must be dialed down to stay NEC-compliant. You need adjustable amperage, a dedicated circuit, and hardwiring outdoors for safety. Weatherproof enclosures and reliable apps for scheduling and load limits matter. I’ll compare seven units on sizing, code compliance, and install flexibility—so you can pick the right one for your panel, driveway, and budget.
Key Takeaways
- Jeep 4xe draws ~32A; a 40A Level 2 setup delivers ~7.2 kW for roughly two-hour full charges.
- Top picks: ChargePoint Home Flex, Enel X JuiceBox 48, Emporia, Grizzl‑E Classic, Autel MaxiCharger, Siemens VersiCharge (UL‑listed J1772).
- For outdoor reliability, choose NEMA 3R/4 enclosures; Grizzl‑E, Autel, and Siemens offer NEMA 4 with 24–25‑ft cables.
- Smart apps let you cap to 32A, schedule off‑peak charging, monitor kWh/cost, and receive OTA updates and fault alerts.
- Follow NEC 625: breakers at 125% continuous load—32A on 40A circuit; hardwire 48A units on 60A dedicated circuits.
ChargePoint Home Flex
Boxed in a weatherproof NEMA 3R enclosure, the ChargePoint Home Flex is a J1772 Level 2 EVSE that pairs well with the Jeep 4xe’s 7.2 kW (32A) onboard charger. You’ll set the amperage to 32A and supply a 40A branch circuit per NEC 625 and the 125% continuous-load rule. For installation considerations, choose hardwired outdoors to avoid receptacle GFCI nuisance trips; if you use a NEMA 14‑50, provide GFCI per 210.8 and an in‑use cover. Verify power compatibility: 240V split‑phase, correct panel capacity via load calculation (NEC 220), and copper conductors sized for the breaker. Bond the equipment grounding conductor, torque lugs to spec, and provide proper drip loops. Commission with the app, set schedules, and enable load sharing if needed, for future expansion.
Enel X JuiceBox 48
You can supply up to 48A (≈11.5 kW) on 240 V with the JuiceBox 48, though your Jeep 4xe’s 7.2 kW onboard charger will typically limit draw to about 32A. For full 48A, hardwire it on a dedicated 60A circuit with properly sized conductors and set the EVSE’s max current to the breaker rating to satisfy NEC continuous-load requirements. The JuiceNet app lets you set amperage limits, schedule off-peak sessions, monitor kWh/cost, and join demand-response programs.
48A Charging Performance
How does the Enel X JuiceBox 48 perform with the Jeep 4xe? It supplies up to 48A at 240V, but the 4xe’s onboard charger draws about 32A, so you’ll see roughly 7.2 kW and a full charge in about two hours. Hardwire on a 60A breaker for full rating, or use a 40A circuit if you cap output to 32A, per NEC 625’s 125% continuous-load rule. The unit’s thermal management and cable temperature sensors help maintain safe conductor temps and limit battery degradation by avoiding overheated sessions. Integrated GFCI and ground monitoring provide required personnel protection. The robust J1772 handle mates securely, minimizing arcing. In hot garages, it derates current to protect connectors and your pack. Expect consistent, stable current with clean voltage delivery.
Smart App Features
Beyond hardware performance, the Enel X Way app gives you precise control over the JuiceBox 48 to match code, circuit capacity, and utility rates. You can set a safe amperage limit aligned with your breaker, schedule off-peak sessions, and enable load balancing. Demand Response lets you join utility incentives without exceeding NEC 625 continuous-load rules. Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth simplify User onboarding; OTA firmware keeps safety features current. Real-time alerts flag ground fault trips, overheating, or disconnects, prompting you to verify connections and halt charging if needed. Guest access and PIN lock restrict unauthorized use; Privacy controls let you opt out of data sharing and delete session history. Home automation integrations support start/stop, reminders, and kWh tracking, so you monitor Jeep 4xe charging costs accurately.
Emporia Level 2 Smart EV Charger (48A)
With a 60A dedicated circuit, the Emporia 48A EVSE can supply up to 11.5 kW, though your Jeep 4xe will typically limit draw to about 7.2 kW (32A). You can use the Emporia app to schedule off-peak charging, cap amperage to match your circuit or service load, and coordinate with Emporia Vue for dynamic load management. Install to NEC 625/110—hardwire for 48A with correctly sized copper conductors, and verify GFCI protection, bonding, and breaker sizing before enabling charging.
Charging Performance 48A
Delivering up to 48A (≈11.5 kW) on a properly wired 60A hardwired circuit, the Emporia Level 2 Smart EV Charger offers ample capacity, but your Jeep 4xe’s onboard charger caps AC intake at about 7.2 kW (~30–32A at 240V). For code-compliant Circuit Requirements, size the branch at 125% of continuous load (NEC 625), use a dedicated 60A breaker, and appropriately rated conductors (typically 6 AWG Cu) in a wet‑location–rated raceway if outdoors. Since the 4xe won’t exceed ~32A, setting the EVSE limit to 32A reduces heat and improves Thermal Management, especially in hot garages. Expect roughly 2–3 hours from low to full. Verify tight terminations, solid J1772 insertion, and adequate ventilation. Hardwire for 48A capability; a 14‑50 circuit limits EVSE output to 40A max.
App Controls and Scheduling
You can use Emporia’s app to cap the charger at 32A for the 4xe and schedule sessions to align with off‑peak rates. Set departure times, apply utility rate plans, and let Energy forecasting estimate costs before you plug in. Define User permissions so only trusted profiles can start or override a schedule. You can also set maximum circuit load to comply with NEC 625’s 80% rule and protect a 40A breaker. If you have solar, enable excess-solar charging to prioritize home loads first. Alerts notify you if charging stalls, temperatures rise, or Wi‑Fi drops. Firmware updates apply automatically over TLS. For multi‑EV homes, load balance by priority and pause when your dryer or range spikes demand. Export reports for audits nightly.

Grizzl-E Classic
Rugged, NEMA 4–rated Grizzl‑E Classic is a UL-listed Level 2 EVSE that delivers up to 40A (9.6 kW), adjustable to 16/24/32/40A to match a Jeep 4xe and the branch circuit. Its powder‑coated aluminum enclosure and connectors pass durability testing for outdoor use. You’ll appreciate installation simplicity: mount the backplate, hang the unit, and plug into a rated NEMA 14‑50 or 6‑50, or hardwire per NEC 625.
Set output via DIP switches to match a 50A/40A, 40A/32A, 30A/24A, or 20A/16A circuit. Integrated GFCI and thermal cutback enhance safety. Use copper conductors, 75°C lugs, and torque to spec. The 24‑ft cable stays flexible in cold weather and fits the J1772 inlet securely. For code compliance, label the breaker “EVSE—continuous load,” and test GFCI before first use.

Autel MaxiCharger Home
A compact, NEMA 4-rated enclosure, the Autel MaxiCharger Home delivers UL-listed Level 2 charging with adjustable output—up to 40A on a NEMA 14-50 plug or up to 50A when hardwired—and built-in personnel ground-fault protection. It pairs well with the Jeep 4xe’s 32A onboard charger; set the current in-app to match your circuit. The sealed housing, flexible conduit entry, and included holster support clean installation aesthetics indoors or outdoors. Commission over Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth, enable scheduling, and use load management to respect service limits. For code compliance, install on a dedicated branch circuit, follow NEC 625, and size conductors/breaker per the nameplate and local amendments. The 25‑ft cable remains pliable in cold weather. Warranty details: a limited 3‑year warranty and U.S.-based support. Use a licensed electrician installer.
Siemens VersiCharge
While your Jeep 4xe draws up to 32A, Siemens VersiCharge delivers a UL-listed Level 2 EVSE with a NEMA 4 enclosure, integrated 20 mA personnel ground-fault protection, and adjustable output—up to 40A on a NEMA 14‑50 receptacle or up to 48A when hardwired. Set the amperage to match your circuit: 32A on a 40A breaker, 48A on a 60A breaker, per NEC 625. Use copper conductors, a non‑GFCI breaker, on a dedicated circuit. For outdoor installs, seal conduit entries to maintain NEMA 4. My durability review: the rugged housing, flexible cable, and strain relief handle weather and daily use. Quick installation tips: verify voltage, torque lugs to spec, and test GFCI functionality.

Conclusion
You’re choosing a Level 2 for your 4xe, and—by coincidence—the best picks all align on safety and code. Set adjustable units like ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Emporia, Grizzl‑E, Pulsar Plus, Autel, or VersiCharge to 32A, which matches typical 4xe draw. Size the breaker per NEC 625’s 125% continuous‑load rule (32A → 40A min), use a dedicated circuit, and hardwire outdoors. Schedule charging in‑app, verify GFCI protection, and you’ll charge faster without compromising reliability and long‑term code compliance.
