Whether you have just made an impulse purchase or finally have your hands on an EV after years of waiting, finding the best way to charge your EV should be the next step of your journey. While electric vehicles have a significantly lower environmental impact than gas-powered cars, charging your EV battery with a clean power source like solar energy can help you lower your carbon footprint even further while reducing your EV charging costs significantly.
With the number of EVs sold in the United States increasing every year since 2018, including 53% year-over-year growth in 2022, we have created a charging solution designed for the future of EV travel with total user control. Built for durability, cost-savings, safety, and informed decision-making, let’s dive into the most important features of the future-proof IQ EV Charger.
The brain
The IQ EV Charger is named for its “brainy” performance. At its core, the IQ EV Charger operates using intelligent software that contains a combination of built-in features within the Enphase App and customization designed to empower homeowners with total charging control. Whether you would like to lower your charging costs, minimize the environmental impact of your vehicle, or both, the system can be optimized to help you meet your goals.
Configurations, customizations, and automation
The IQ EV Charger comes with many different operating modes, including Self-Consumption and Savings, to guide you toward your energy goals. When integrated with an Enphase Energy System, the “Self-Consumption” profile in the app enables EV charging from excess home solar energy and battery capacity. In areas with time-of-use utility rates, the IQ EV Charger can automatically recommend an optimized, off-peak charging schedule so that you can avoid peak electricity rates and save money on EV charging.
You can set reminders to plug in based on your charging schedule, set controls to ensure your EV never charges during peak hours, and so much more.
Cloud connection and cost optimization
Cloud-connected via Wi-Fi, the IQ EV Charger can be controlled remotely via the Enphase App so that you always know your charging status. Within the app, the IQ EV Charger reports data in real time, including a detailed session analysis of charging to help you make informed decisions.
Using the “Savings” profile on the Enphase App, you can ensure your EV charges only during off-peak hours using solar energy and battery power.
Optimized for right now and much later
Sending real-time notifications, reminders, and recommendations straight to your phone, the IQ EV Charger works around the clock to maintain optimal performance at every moment. As you expand your energy system with storage batteries and other hardware, you can unlock even more of the benefits of the IQ EV Charger.
With built-in features such as Storm Guard, you can prepare for inclement weather by automatically prioritizing your home and EV battery charging for access to power in the case of a local electrical outage. Designed for ongoing adaptations and real-time response, the IQ EV Charger is a future-proof way to expand your energy independence.
