Insights
Enphase's new EV charger strengthens its energy ecosystem, potentially opening revenue streams in growing ANZ markets.
Enphase's launch of the IQ EV Charger 2 in Australia and New Zealand represents a strategic expansion of its integrated home energy ecosystem. The product addresses key market demands with its ability to begin charging with just 1.38 kW of solar production—particularly valuable in these regions where solar adoption is high but grid reliability concerns persist.
The product's technical specifications reveal significant improvements over typical EV chargers. The near real-time solar tracking with 1-amp incremental adjustments enables precise consumption management, potentially maximizing self-consumption rates for system owners. This differentiates Enphase's offering in a crowded market while reinforcing its ecosystem approach.
Most notably, the charger's built-in hardware supporting future bidirectional charging capabilities positions Enphase ahead of regulatory curves. While V2H/V2G functionality remains dependent on regional certifications and EV compatibility, this future-proofing demonstrates foresight in product development as regulatory frameworks evolve in Australia and New Zealand.
From a business perspective, this launch strengthens Enphase's cross-selling opportunities among existing solar customers while potentially increasing customer retention through deeper ecosystem integration. The five-year warranty exceeds industry standards and should appeal to quality-conscious consumers in these markets.
This expansion appears timed to capitalize on accelerating EV adoption in both countries, with the product's flexibility to work as either a standalone unit or integrated system widening its addressable market beyond just Enphase system owners.
FREMONT, Calif., July 02, 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 Australia and New Zealand. The IQ EV Charger 2 is a smart charger built to work seamlessly with Enphase solar and battery systems or as a powerful standalone charger. With advanced energy management features, the charger can support increased solar self-consumption, lower energy costs, and offer a smart, efficient EV charging experience.
The charger’s top features include:
- Charge with solar: The IQ EV Charger 2 intelligently prioritizes surplus solar energy for EV charging, enhancing 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 – potentially helping homeowners manage electricity costs and support sustainability goals.
- Rapid response time: Localized solar charging allows for near real-time tracking of surplus solar and quickly regulates EV charging current in 1A increments supporting an efficient and sustainable charging.
- Built-in intelligence: Smart capabilities that include access control using RFID technology, dynamic load balancing, and a certified MID energy meter for tracking and expense reimbursement applications – ideal for home and fleet operations.
- 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 built to enable vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration – supporting homeowners with resilience and flexibility.
“Smart EV charging isn't just about convenience; it's about enhancing your solar investment,” said Nigel Charlesworth at DES Electrical & Solar, a Platinum level installer of Enphase products in Australia. “The Enphase IQ EV Charger 2 goes above and beyond, harnessing solar power to give our customers a seamless, efficient charging experience, while helping them reduce costs and grid reliance, and power their cars with renewable energy.”
The IQ EV Charger 2 is built for high performance and long-term reliability. The charger features a rugged Type-2 connector that is compatible with most EVs sold in Australia and New Zealand. With configurable power levels up to 32 A per phase, the charger is built to support both single-phase and three-phase wiring from the same hardware – helping to simplify logistics and reduce inventory complexity. Installation is fast and efficient, featuring a 7.5-meter cable for added flexibility and a streamlined, sub-10-minute setup process that potentially reduces labor time and installation costs, depending on site conditions.
The IQ EV Charger 2 is housed in an IP55-rated enclosure, making it weatherproof for indoor and outdoor installations. All chargers activated in Australia and New Zealand come backed by an industry-leading five-year warranty and 24/7 customer support from Enphase – supporting long-term reliability and exceptional peace of mind.
“With EV sales accelerating across New Zealand, homeowners want charging that adapts to their lifestyle and energy needs,” said Kerry Hulleman at Hubands Energy, a Platinum installer of Enphase products in New Zealand. “The IQ EV Charger 2's ability to start charging with just 1.38 kW of solar means even modest rooftop systems can power EVs during the day. That's a game-changer for energy independence.”
“What sets the IQ EV Charger 2 apart is its intelligence,” said Matt Wildy at Venus Energy, a Gold level installer of Enphase products in Australia. “Enphase’s IQ EV Charger 2 seamlessly integrates into home energy systems and allows homeowners to manage their power on their terms.”
“The IQ EV Charger 2 represents the next evolution in home energy management, where solar, battery storage, and EV charging work as one intelligent ecosystem,” said Ken Fong, senior vice president and general manager of the Americas and APAC at Enphase Energy. “We're excited to bring this innovative solution to Australia and New Zealand, giving homeowners the confidence they're investing in future-ready technology that adapts to their energy needs.”
