Enphase Energy has begun shipping its second-generation IQ EV Charger 2 in the United States, expanding its product lineup as demand grows for higher-power and solar-integrated electric vehicle charging equipment.
The charger supports power output of up to 19.2 kilowatts using the J1772 connector and up to 22.1 kilowatts with the J3400 North American Charging Standard (NACS). Designed for both residential and commercial use, the unit can operate as a standalone charger or integrate directly with Enphase solar and battery systems.

The IQ EV Charger 2 includes solar-aware charging software that adjusts output in one-amp increments to match surplus solar generation, allowing users to prioritize renewable energy consumption. The system is also designed to continue charging during grid outages when paired with compatible solar and battery installations.
For commercial and multi-unit sites, the charger offers native 277-volt support, eliminating the need for step-down transformers and lowering installation costs. Load balancing functions allow operators to avoid costly panel upgrades, while RFID access control supports shared-use environments.

The unit is housed in a weather-resistant NEMA 4 enclosure and features a field-replaceable charging cable and embedded energy metering. It also supports the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) for network management and Modbus integration for site-level energy systems. Hardware compliance with ISO 15118-20 positions the charger for future bidirectional vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid capabilities.
Enphase said the IQ EV Charger 2 is now shipping across the United States and is also available in Canada. The product was previously launched in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, with further international rollout planned for 2026.
