40 Amp Enphase HCS-D50 EV Charger for Dual Charging, NEMA 14-50, 240V, 9.6 kW, 25ft Cables

Product Overview: Dual Vehicle Charging Station

Charge two electric vehicles with just one charging station—the HCS-D50. This innovative unit efficiently distributes electricity, offering up to 20 Amps for each vehicle during simultaneous charging and up to a maximum of 40 Amps when only one vehicle is plugged in. To ensure optimal performance, it should be installed on a dedicated minimum 50 Amp circuit. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, this Level 2 charging station features a permanent wall-mounted installation.

Keeping your garage tidy is easy with the HCS-D50's 25-foot charging cables, which come with an integrated cable wrap and two holsters, allowing you to park almost anywhere without creating clutter.

Robust Construction for All Conditions

HCS EV chargers are engineered to withstand severe weather, while the impact-resistant SAE J1772 connectors enhance their suitability for high-traffic environments. All our EV charging stations are rigorously safety certified and compatible with virtually every electric vehicle available in North America.

Fast Home Charging Solutions

With the HCS-D50, you can recover up to 38 miles of range per hour for one vehicle or 19 miles per hour when charging two vehicles simultaneously, although this may vary based on your specific EV model. It features a durable, fully sealed NEMA 4 enclosure suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, ensuring its longevity. The station comes equipped with two 25-foot J1772 charging cables that can reach across your garage or out to the driveway.

Safety and Universal Compatibility

Every Enphase charging station meets rigorous safety standards as certified by an independent Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) and is ENERGY STAR certified. Built to conform to automaker specifications, each unit guarantees a reliable charging experience and is compatible with nearly every electric vehicle sold in North America (though some might require an adapter).

Cost Benefits of Installing an EVSE

Charging your vehicle with electricity costs significantly less than gasoline—on average, it can be 75% cheaper. Moreover, installing an EVSE can qualify you for local utility rebates throughout North America, helping to offset your costs. For U.S. residents, there's also a tax credit that covers 30% of the total expenses for purchasing and installing the Enphase charging station.

Installation Choices: Hardwired vs. Plug-in

Enphase EV chargers come in two installation types: hardwired and plug-in.

• Hardwired Installation: These chargers include service wires within a three-foot flexible conduit, plus an additional six inches for easy fitting into a junction box. While this setup is more permanent, the charger can be uninstalled and relocated by a qualified electrician. Hardwired units are rated for both indoor and outdoor use.
• Plug-in Installation: This option comes with a high-quality, over-molded 240V plug, measuring 12 inches in length per National Electric Code. The plug length includes the part inside the enclosure, leaving about 10 inches from the enclosure to the outlet. To install a plug-in charger, you will need a compatible 240V NEMA 14-50 receptacle, which can be installed by any licensed electrician. If your house already has this receptacle, the only cost would be for mounting the charger.
