Enphase IQ EV Charger 2: select the charger and the site together.
The IQ EV Charger 2 can run as a standalone charger or integrate with an Enphase Energy System. For a clean procurement decision, specify phase, connection type, metering, communications and solar-surplus control before comparing stock.
- Charging power
- Up to 22 kW
- Connection
- Type 2
- Metering
- Integrated MID meter
- Installation
- Indoor or outdoor
Three-phase; up to 7.4 kW on single-phase systems.
Available with socket or a fixed 7.5 m cable.
Class B metering for recorded consumption and reimbursement.
IP55 enclosure; final siting remains an installer decision.
Socket or fixed cable?
Both routes use a Type 2 connection. The choice is mainly about daily use, cable management and how many different vehicles will use the charger.
| Compare | Socket version | Fixed-cable version |
|---|---|---|
| Daily use | User supplies and stores the cable. | Cable is always ready at the charger. |
| Flexibility | Convenient for shared locations and different cable lengths. | Simple routine for one regular parking position. |
| Order check | Confirm whether cable and holster are separate. | Confirm cable length and exact SKU. |
Standalone or integrated with Enphase?
The charger can be commissioned as a standalone device and managed through the Enphase App. In an integrated Enphase site it can coordinate with PV and IQ Battery, making solar-surplus charging and a single energy view possible when the required metering is present.
Do not assume that an existing Enphase installation already has every required current transformer or communication component. Record the IQ Gateway or combiner configuration and verify the supported site topology before quoting the installation.
Match charging power to the connection
The headline 22 kW rating requires a suitable three-phase connection and a vehicle that accepts that AC charging power. A single-phase site is limited lower. Set the maximum current around the grid connection, protective devices, simultaneous building loads and contracted capacity.
Dynamic load balancing can protect the connection by adjusting charging to the site load. Treat the measurement and commissioning needed for that function as part of the scope, not as an optional note after the charger has been ordered.
Metering, access and business use
The integrated MID meter supports accurate consumption records and reimbursement workflows. For a company car, shared parking or customer charging, also specify user authorisation, reporting, tariff or reimbursement process and any backend requirement.
OCPP support can matter for backend integration, but protocol support alone does not guarantee that a chosen service provider has certified the exact charger and firmware. Confirm that relationship before promising remote operation or settlement.
Enphase charger procurement checklist
Specify the site before the SKU so the quote includes the hardware and commissioning that make the intended functions work.
- Single- or three-phase connection and available current
- Socket or fixed 7.5 m Type 2 cable
- Standalone, PV-integrated or PV-plus-battery operation
- Metering and current transformers for load control
- Wi-Fi, Ethernet or other supported connectivity
- Access, reimbursement and backend requirements
Frequently asked questions
Does the Enphase IQ EV Charger 2 work without solar panels?+
Yes. It can operate as a standalone smart charger. Integration with an Enphase PV and battery system adds coordinated energy functions when the required site metering and communication are installed.
Can the Enphase charger charge only from solar surplus?+
The integrated operating modes support solar-surplus charging, but the site needs the supported Enphase configuration and consumption measurement. Ask the installer to verify the current transformers and commissioning scope.
Is 22 kW always available?+
No. It depends on a suitable three-phase grid connection, protective devices, configured current and the vehicle’s onboard AC charger. Single-phase charging is rated up to 7.4 kW.
Which Enphase charger SKU has a socket?+
IQ-EVSE-EU-3032-0005-1300 is a socketed IQ EV Charger 2 model listed for Europe. Always confirm the full regional SKU, phase configuration and included accessories on the current datasheet and offer.
Technical content checked against manufacturer information. Product specifications and compatibility can change; use the current regional datasheet and installation documentation for the final design.
