When it comes to fast charging at home, the HCS-50 EV Charger is the ultimate solution. It can recover up to 38 miles of range per hour of charging, depending on your EV make and model. The charger also features a rugged, fully sealed NEMA 4 enclosure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. With a 25-foot J1772 charging cable, you can easily reach across your garage or into the driveway. Our Enphase Charging Stations are not only safe, but also universal. Each station is safety certified by an independent Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) and ENERGY STAR Certified. They are built and tested to automaker standards, ensuring a reliable charge every time. Additionally, our charging stations are compatible with virtually every EV sold in North America, although some may require an adapter. Installing an EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) has several benefits. Fuelling with electricity is much cheaper than gasoline, saving you an average of 75% on fuel costs. In addition, many local utility companies offer rebates for installing an EVSE, helping to offset the cost. US-based EV owners can also take advantage of a 30% tax credit for the cost of their Enphase charging station and installation. We offer both hardwired and plug-in installation options for our Enphase EV chargers. The hardwired installation includes service wires routed through a flexible conduit with additional wire extensions for easy installation. While the hardwired installation is more permanent, the charger can still be moved with the help of an electrician. On the other hand, the plug-in installation comes with a high-quality over molded 240V plug for easy setup. For hardwired EV charging stations, we recommend them for outdoor installations as they provide a more weather-resistant connection. For plug-in electric car chargers, we suggest using a watertight cover for the plug and outlet combination if installed outdoors. We offer different types of plugs for our electric vehicle charging stations. The NEMA 6-50 outlet and plug are commonly used by welders or plasma cutters, while the NEMA 14-50 outlets and plugs are often found in RV parks and campgrounds. We have a range of Enphase EV charger options, including the HCS-50 Hardwired EV Charger, HCS-50 NEMA 14-50 Plug EV Charger, HCS-50 NEMA 6-50 Plug EV Charger, HCS-D50 Hardwired Dual EV Charger, and HCS-D50 NEMA 14-50 Plug Dual EV Charger. Each option has different features and installation types. You can view more details and customer reviews on our website. To determine the charging speed of an EV charger, you need to consider battery size, power acceptance rate of the EV, and the maximum power delivery rating of the charger. If the charging station offers less power than the vehicle's maximum acceptance rate, the charging station will be the limiting factor. If the vehicle's acceptance rate is lower than the charging station's output rate, the vehicle will be the limiting factor. To estimate the total charge time, divide the vehicle's battery pack rating by the lower value of the vehicle's acceptance rate or the station's output rate. We recommend hiring a qualified electrician to install an EV charger because they have the knowledge of electrical requirements, wiring size, and local electrical codes. An electrician can ensure the charging station is installed properly and safely. They can also assess the home's electrical infrastructure and perform any necessary upgrades. The installation process involves wiring the station to a dedicated circuit for hardwired chargers or installing a safe receptacle/outlet for plug-in chargers. UL and ETL are both Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL) that provide safety and quality certifications for electrical appliances. UL develops the testing standards, while ETL tests to UL standards. Products with UL or ETL listings are recognized as safer. It is important to have an NRTL listed EV charger for a permitted installation in line with the National Electric Code. Using an EV charger with a higher output current rating than your EV can accept will not damage your vehicle. The charging station is a pass-through appliance, and the EV controls the charge rate. The EV will only take the power it can accept. Some customers choose higher power level chargers to future proof their installation. Enphase EV chargers work with EV onboard timers. The charger will not supply power to the vehicle unless it requests a charge. The vehicle is in complete control of the charge, even if the charger is plugged in. The charger consumes minimal power when not in use, approximately 2 watts. Enphase EV chargers can be used in all weather conditions. The charging head and the vehicle's inlet are designed to drain water, and once connected, they form a
