Safety Certifications and Durability

Charging Efficiency

The speed at which an EV battery charges depends on three main factors: the battery size, the vehicle's power acceptance rate, and the EV charger’s maximum power delivery rating. To determine which charger provides the fastest charge, divide the vehicle battery’s capacity by the lower of the car’s acceptance rate or the charger’s output rate.

Professional Installation Recommended

Although it is possible to install an EV charger without an electrician, Enphase highly recommends utilizing a qualified professional. Electricians ensure compliance with electrical codes and proper installation, promoting safety and efficiency.

The Importance of Certified Ratings

Independently recognized entities such as UL and ETL provide vital safety and quality certifications. A product’s certification guarantees it meets established safety and performance standards, which is crucial for consumer confidence and safety.
