Enphase Energy, a global pioneer in solar and energy technology, has officially begun shipping its first batch of IQ EV Charger 2 units to U.S. customers as of December 3, 2025. After opening pre-orders in September, the company has now delivered its much-anticipated next-generation charger designed to work seamlessly with Enphase’s existing solar and battery ecosystem—or operate powerfully as a standalone EV charging solution.
A Smart Charger Built for the Future
The IQ EV Charger 2 is engineered to maximize clean energy usage and improve EV charging efficiency at home and in commercial settings. One of its standout features is its “solar-aware” intelligence, capable of analyzing surplus solar generation every 30 seconds and adjusting charging rates in 1-amp increments. This ensures that even small amounts of unused solar energy can be transformed into meaningful EV miles — a benefit highlighted by Sheryl Lane, CEO of Earth Electrical, an Enphase installation partner.
Users can enjoy power output up to 19.2 kW for residential use, while commercial setups can reach 22.1 kW at 277V using the NACS connector. Compatibility with most major EV brands makes the charger a flexible solution for a wide range of customers.
Built for Tomorrow’s Energy Ecosystem
Enphase has designed the IQ EV Charger 2 with ISO 15118-20 compliance, making it ready for future AC bidirectional charging technologies such as Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G). As EVs with these capabilities become mainstream, the charger is prepared to support energy export, backup power, and grid participation.
Commercial users will benefit from advanced communication features, including Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) for remote management and Modbus support for integration with site-wide energy management systems.
Durability, Safety, and Smart Energy Control
The charger features a UL-listed, NEMA 4 weather-resistant enclosure, suitable for both indoor garages and outdoor installations. Through the Enphase App, users can monitor energy usage, set off-peak charging schedules, and manage access with RFID control. Dynamic load balancing helps prevent panel overload and can reduce the need for costly electrical upgrades.
Each activated unit includes a built-in energy meter, a five-year limited warranty, and round-the-clock customer support.
Global Expansion Continues
The IQ EV Charger 2 is now shipping in the U.S. and is also available in Canada, following earlier launches in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Enphase plans further global rollout in 2026 as part of a broader industry trend where solar and storage companies integrate EV charging into unified home energy ecosystems.
