FREMONT, Calif., March 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world’s leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems, today announced production shipments of its newest electric vehicle (EV) charger, the IQ® EV Charger 2, in 14 European markets. The IQ EV Charger 2 is a smart charger designed to work seamlessly with Enphase solar and battery systems or as a powerful standalone charger. With advanced energy management features, the charger empowers homeowners to maximize solar self-consumption, lower energy costs, and enjoy a smart, efficient EV charging experience.
The IQ EV Charger 2 is now available in Norway, Germany, the United Kingdom (UK), France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. The charger’s top features include:
Charge with solar: The IQ EV Charger 2 intelligently prioritizes surplus solar energy for EV charging, maximizing clean energy use. With automatic phase switching between three-phase and single-phase modes, it can begin charging with as little as 1.38 kW of solar production — helping homeowners reduce electricity costs and increase sustainability.
AI Optimization: Powered by advanced forecasting algorithms and real-time electricity rate data, the charger intelligently selects the most economical energy source — solar, battery, or grid.
Built-in intelligence: Smart capabilities include goal-based charging, dynamic load balancing, and a certified MID energy meter for accurate energy tracking and reimbursement — ideal for home and fleet applications.
Future-ready bidirectional charging: The IQ EV Charger 2 is equipped with built-in hardware and software to support AC bidirectional charging. While availability depends on EV compatibility, standards, and regional certifications, this feature is designed to enable vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration — empowering homeowners with resilience and flexibility.
“As EV adoption continues to rise, consumers are seeking intelligent solutions for efficient home charging without driving up energy costs,” said Wesley van den Enk, director at Hydro Solar B.V., an installer of Enphase products in the Netherlands. “Enphase’s new IQ EV Charger not only optimizes cost savings across all tariffs but also integrates seamlessly with Enphase home energy systems, empowering homeowners to maximize solar for EV charging and minimize their carbon footprint.”
