Enphase Energy has announced the expansion of production shipments for its IQ EV Charger 2 across several European markets, including Greece, Romania, Ireland, and Poland. The charger is compatible with Enphase solar and battery systems or can function as a standalone unit.
The IQ EV Charger 2 supports single-phase and three-phase wiring with configurable power up to 32 A per phase. It includes automatic phase switching and can charge using as little as 1.38 kW of available solar.
Key engineering features include dynamic load balancing, AI-driven optimization using real-time rates and forecasts, and a certified MID energy meter for accurate energy tracking.
The hardware is designed to support future ac bidirectional charging capabilities, including vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications.
The system is available in socketed and tethered models, featuring Type-2 connectors, a 7.5-meter cable, and an IP55-rated enclosure suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Installations are designed for streamlined setup and compatibility with a wide range of EVs sold in Europe.
In France, the IQ EV Charger 2 has received E.V. READY certification and now integrates with the Linky smart meter to support dynamic load balancing in standalone deployments. The charger connects via USB to the meter and adjusts charging rates based on real-time household energy consumption.
While this product is currently expanding across European markets, its feature set, particularly around integration with distributed energy resources and bidirectional charging. This aligns with growing US interest in V2H and grid-responsive EV charging systems.
