FAQ
Yes, the Grizzl-E EV charger is tested to work with all Electric Vehicles and Plug-in Hybrid models. Tesla vehicles take maximum advantage of Grizzl-E’s design with the use of a J1772 to Tesla adapter to draw up to 10W of current.
This varies according to the maximum current output. When the maximum current output is set to 40 Amp it will add approximately 30 miles per hour to your EV or PHEV battery until its fully charged. At 32 Amp it will add approximately 25 miles per hour, 24 Amp will add approximately 18 miles per hour, and 16 Amp adds about 10 miles
Yes, the locking pin can be removed to easily lift and transport the charger. Accessories such as outdoor locks, soft carrying cases, additional wall cradles, and plug holders are available on our website store.
Yes, the Grizzl-E Chargers are UL and cUL certified.
What is the UL file number?
The UL file number is E510712.
If you need to set up Grizzl-E for a 20, 30, or 40 Amp breaker, remove the front cover of the charger and adjust the DIP switches inside. For more information on how to do this please refer to the manual. The Grizzl-E EVSE is designed so that opening the box does not void the charger warranty and there are no loose parts or wires inside the unit.
Yes! We now provide an option to choose the maximum output current for your circuit breaker and pre-set it at our factory.
Our initial goal was to produce a low cost, durable charger cost that was simple to use. Now that we have achieved this goal, we are working on the new Grizzl-E Smart which will have a Wi-Fi option and OCPP 1.6 compliance. The Grizzl-E Smart is available for pre-order now and will be released on March 1, 2021.
Yes, of course! Besides the 3 current editions of Grizzl-E there will also be the Grizzl-E Smart with Wi-Fi connectivity and OCPP Compliance and the Mini Grizzl-E which is a smaller more portable version of the Grizzl-E. These chargers are expected to be released in 2021.
Absolutely NOT. Grizzl-e is inexpensive because United Chargers is committed to providing high-quality economical charging solutions to advance the adoption of electric vehicles in North America. Grizzl-E chargers are assembled in Canada with the highest quality components and first-class workmanship, with all required certifications and regulations. Every charger leaving our assembly line undergoes multiple quality control tests to ensure that they are fault proof. For more information on how the Grizzl-E is made check out this video on our YouTube channel.
We at United Chargers like to provide you with a choice of output cable to improve your charging experience in different climate conditions as well as in different installation locations. The regular cable is used by majority of EV charging stations and is designed for indoor use or in mild to hot climate conditions. The premium cable is designed to be used outdoor in cold climates (below -10C or 10F) as it is more flexible in cold weather and better protected against harsh conditions.
There are only a few EV chargers on the market that utilize metal enclosures, because the manufacturing cost of metal enclosures is significantly higher than most plastic enclosures. JuiceBox 2.0 is now only made by EnelX in a plastic enclosure, as EnelX redesigned the JuiceBox 1.0 charger and is no longer using the generic and widely available metal rectangular enclosure. Because Grizzl-E is made to withstand the harsh and extreme climate conditions of the Canadian North, we produce it with a metal enclosure. This best meets the requirements for NEMA 4 air- and water-tight rating of the charger, and although the metal enclosure is more costly, it helps make the Grizzl-E a truly robust charger. Most electrical NEMA-4-rated metal boxes on the market utilize same construction principles, such as lid with 4 screws in a rectangular box.
Due to certification requirements for connectivity of cables to metal enclosures, Grizzl-E enclosure might look somewhat similar to the metal enclosure used on the first version of JuiceBox, but this is where any similarities end. Grizzl-E is an inexpensive non-smart EVSE with DIP switches inside the box to control the maximum output current. JuiceBox is a smart and significantly more expensive connected EVSE with Wi-Fi and has the ability to adjust maximum currents through the app. Grizzl-E is NOT associated or related in any way with the respected and trademarked products of EnelX’s previous-generation JuiceBox. All trademarks mentioned belong to their respected owners.
