Expanded metering compatibility lets IQ EV Charger 2 work intelligently on its own, with existing solar systems, or as part of an Enphase Energy System
FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company, today announced expanded metering compatibility for the Enphase® IQ® EV Charger 2 across several European markets. The expanded compatibility makes it easier for installers to bring smart EV charging to more homes, including those without an Enphase solar or battery system.
The IQ EV Charger 2 can use home metering data from compatible smart meters or CT-based metering solutions to enable dynamic load balancing and green charging. This allows the charger to operate intelligently whether it is installed on its own, with an existing solar system, or as part of an Enphase Energy System.
Dynamic load balancing automatically adjusts EV charging as electricity use in the home changes, helping prevent overloads and keep charging within the home’s available electrical capacity. Green charging uses available surplus solar energy to charge the vehicle and works with compatible third-party solar systems as well as Enphase solar.
Smart meter integrations include Linky in France through TIC, P1/DSMR in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, and HAN connections in Norway. In other markets, installers can use compatible CT-based metering solutions.
“The P1 connection is already sitting in many Dutch homes, and now we can use it,” said Dennis Dijkman, director at Dijkman Zonne-energie, an installer of Enphase products in the Netherlands. “Wired or wireless, we get load balancing and solar charging working quickly, whether or not the customer has an Enphase system.”
“With this new metering solution, it’s now easier to install a standalone IQ EV Charger 2,” said Simon Webb, managing director at Wow Energy, an installer of Enphase products in the United Kingdom. “It can help keep the customer inside their DNO fuse limit and even provide solar charging in homes where the customer does not have an Enphase system.”
“IQ EV Charger 2 is designed to work with the energy system homeowners have today and grow with them over time,” said Jayant Somani, senior vice president of the digital business unit at Enphase Energy. “Homeowners can start with smart EV charging, charge from solar when available, and expand over time with Enphase solar, batteries, and energy management — all designed to work together as one integrated energy system.”

How does dynamic load balancing work on the Enphase IQ EV Charger 2 (ENPH)?
Dynamic load balancing on the IQ EV Charger 2 uses home metering data to automatically adjust EV charging as household electricity use changes. This helps prevent overloads and keeps charging within the home’s available electrical capacity, supporting safer and more efficient charging.
What is green charging on the Enphase IQ EV Charger 2 and does it work with third-party solar?
Green charging uses surplus solar energy to charge the EV. The IQ EV Charger 2 can perform green charging with compatible third-party solar systems as well as Enphase solar, allowing homeowners to prioritize solar power for their vehicle charging when available.
Can the Enphase IQ EV Charger 2 (ENPH) be installed as a standalone EV charger without an Enphase system?
Yes. The announcement highlights that the IQ EV Charger 2 can be installed as a standalone charger using smart meter or CT-based metering for load balancing and solar charging. It also remains compatible with existing solar systems and can later be integrated into a full Enphase Energy System.
How does the updated metering solution for IQ EV Charger 2 help with grid or fuse limits in Europe?
Installers state that using the new metering options helps keep charging within a home’s DNO fuse limit by adjusting EV charging based on real-time consumption. This supports compliance with local capacity constraints while still enabling smart and solar-aware charging.
