Key Takeaways

  • Best for: Enphase solar homes
  • Standout: Charges from your own solar automatically
  • Watch out: High price for a 40A charger
  • Not for: Homes without Enphase solar

The Enphase IQ EV Charger 2 is a 40A smart Level 2 charger that plugs into a NEMA 14-50 outlet. With an Enphase solar system it can charge the car from your own panels and top it up before storms. It sells for about $750 to $850.

What you need before you buy

  • A NEMA 14-50 outlet on a 50A, 240V circuit.
  • Enphase solar to use green charging and Storm Guard.
  • Wi-Fi at the charger.

How fast it charges

At 40A it adds up to about 38 miles of range per hour, so most cars refill overnight, or during a sunny day in green mode.

Product Brand: Enphase

Editor's Rating:
4.3

Pros

  • Green charging uses your own Enphase solar to charge the car
  • Storm Guard tops up the car before severe weather
  • 40A (9.6kW) on a NEMA 14-50 plug
  • Adjusts power to avoid tripping breakers
  • 5-year warranty, the longest on our list

Cons

  • The most expensive 40A charger we review
  • Solar features need an Enphase solar system
  • 40A max, not 48A
  • J1772 connector, so Teslas need an adapter

Verdict

If you already have Enphase solar, the IQ EV Charger 2 is the best way to charge from your own panels and keep the car ready for storms. Without Enphase solar, you are paying extra for features you will not use; the ChargePoint Home Flex is better value.
