Enphase IQ EV Charger 2: Which Model Should You Choose?
Updated
Enphase IQ EV Charger 2 is EVSphere’s first editorial choice. Start by choosing the connector and installation type that fit your vehicle and home.
How to read this guide: Specifications below come from manufacturer materials. The recommendation is EVSphere’s editorial preference, not a claim that these models have been independently laboratory tested by EVSphere.

Which connector fits my vehicle?
Choose the J1772 or NACS version according to the vehicle inlet and approved compatibility information. A matching product family name does not make the connector interchangeable. Verify the exact SKU before purchase.
Hardwired or plug-in?
The two 48A models above are hardwired. The 40A J1772 model uses a NEMA 14-50 plug. Have an installer assess the home and the manufacturer’s requirements before choosing the installation type.
Does this automatically add solar charging or home backup?
Solar-aware features require compatible Enphase equipment and configuration. Do not treat future bidirectional readiness as confirmation of active vehicle-to-home or vehicle-to-grid operation. Confirm the exact vehicle, charger, system equipment and currently supported functions. Read our bidirectional charging guide to separate charging from home-backup use.
Why is Enphase first on EVSphere?
EVSphere prioritizes this family for its home-energy integration approach and choice of connector and installation options. This is a starting recommendation, not a universal fit. A different charger may better match your existing equipment, vehicle, installation or budget.
Check compatibility before shopping
Review your vehicle inlet, circuit assessment, cable reach and any solar-system requirements. Then compare the Enphase models in EVSphere’s interactive tool, or see the full home charger selection.
