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.

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.
