It pays to install an EVSE

  • Fueling with electricity is less expensive than gasoline — an average of 75% less.
  • Qualifies for local utility rebates across North America, which can help offset the cost of an EVSE.
  • US-based EV owners can also claim a tax credit for 30% of the cost of their Enphase charging station and installation.

Hardwired or Plug-in?

Enphase EV chargers are available in hardwired installation and plug-in installation options.

The hardwired EV chargers include service wires which are routed through a three-foot flexible conduit with an additional six inches of wire extensions for easy installation into a junction box. With a hardwired EV Charger the installation is more permanent, the EV Charger can still be moved, but you would need an electrician to uninstall the EV Charger and then reinstall it at your new location. Enphase hardwired EV Chargers are rated for indoor or outdoor installation. ​

With a Enphase plug-in EV charger, it will come with a high quality over molded 240V plug attached instead of the flexible conduit included with a hardwired charger. The plug length is 12 inches, the longest length allowed per National Electric Code, and this includes the plug itself in the measurement.​

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I determine which EV Charger will charge my car the fastest?

A: Three key elements determine how fast an EV battery will charge: ​(1) Battery size and storage, which differs by EV​, (2) power acceptance rate, which differs by EV​, and (3) EV charging station maximum power delivery rating, which varies by EV charger​. To determine how fast an EV charger will charge a given electric car, here are the basic rules to consider:​ (1) If the charging station offers less power than the vehicle's maximum acceptance rate, the charging station would be the limiting factor in determining the charge time.​ (2) If the vehicle's acceptance rate is lower than the charging station's maximum output rate, then the vehicle will be the limiting factor.​ (3) To determine your estimated total charge time, you would take your vehicle battery pack rating and divide it by whichever number is lower, the vehicle's acceptance rate, or the station's output rate.​

Q: Do I need an electrician to install an EV charger?​

A: We recommend that you have a qualified electrician install your EV charger because there are certain electrical requirements for the product itself, wiring size requirements, and local electrical codes that an electrician will have knowledge of, which ensures that the charging station will be installed properly and safely.​ A qualified electrician can also assess the home’s current electrical infrastructure and advise you if there's any additional work necessary (for example, an electrical panel upgrade in an older home). Most homes will have capacity available, and the work will merely be wiring the station to a dedicated circuit in the case of a hardwired charger or installing an appropriate and safe receptacle/outlet in the case of a plug-in charger.​

Q: What is the difference between UL and ETL ratings and why is it important?

A:UL and ETL are both considered Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL). NRTLs provide independent safety and quality certifications for electrical appliances. UL develops the testing standards and tests to them, ETL tests to UL standards. ​Products with UL or ETL listings are recognized as safer than units without these listings. Make sure the logos of one of these testing laboratories are shown directly on the product you purchase to ensure its safety.​ An inspector sign-off on a permitted installation in line with the National Electric Code requires that the EV charger be NRTL listed (in the US that is either with ETL or UL).

Q: Will using an EV charger with a higher output current rating than my EV can accept damage my vehicle?​

A: No, using a higher amperage EV charger will pose no harm to the vehicle. EV chargers are a pass through, electrical safety appliances. The EV is in complete control of the charge and will only take the power it can accept and no more. The actual charging takes place on the vehicle. Our units will supply AC power to the vehicle and the vehicles onboard charger will convert the AC power to DC power and charge the vehicle’s batteries. ​For example: A Chevy Volt can take in 3.3kW for charging and the HCS-50 EV Charger can deliver up to 9.6kW. When an HCS-50 EV Charger is plugged into the Volt the station will “tell” the Volt how much power is available through the charger's communication system. From that point the vehicle will take over, activate the charger and accept the power it wants, up to the limit established by the EV charger. ​Some of our customers purchase EV chargers that offer a higher power level than their current vehicle can accept, which allows them to future proof their installation in anticipation of purchasing a vehicle that could accept more power. ​

Q: Will your EV charger work with my EV’s onboard timer?​

A: Yes, Enphase EV Chargers provide pass-through electricity and will not supply power to the EV unless the vehicle is requesting a charge. The vehicle is in complete control of the charge and if a timer is set within the vehicle the EV charger, even if plugged into the car, will not supply power to the vehicle until the vehicle requests a charge at the scheduled time.

Q: How much energy does an EV charger use when it’s not charging an EV?

A: Enphase products consume very minimal power when not in use. We call this "standby power," and the draw on the HCS EV Charger for standby power is approximately 2 watts.

Q: Can I charge my EV when it’s raining or snowing outside?

A: Yes, the charging head on Enphase EV chargers are designed to drain water and the inlet on your vehicle is designed to drain water as well. Once the charging head is connected into your vehicle’s inlet, a water-tight seal will be formed.

I strongly suggest caution when considering purchasing HCS chargers, especially the HCS-80 units. I purchased two HCS-80 chargers and encountered substantial grief and unforeseen expenses during their installation.Issue 1 - Whip Tail vs Your Electrical CodeThe HCS units have a hardwired whip tail that is meant to be connected to your electrical service. The problem is that HCS-80 units require an 80-amp breaker hookup, but the wires in the whip tail connector built into to the unit are only 8 AWG.Our local electrical inspector says that's not thick enough to comply with our municipal building code, which requires an 80-amp hookup to use thicker wires (at least 6AWG). We contacted the manufacturer who said that unit is an "appliance" and was tested with the whip tail, so all is well. But guess who makes the final determination? Not the manufacturer! Your INSPECTOR makes that call.And if 8 AWG whip tail is not consistent with our electrical code, your inspector won't care what the manufacturer says. YOUR INSPECTOR HAS THE FINAL SAY. So in our case, we were forced to install a breaker subpanel *and* a downstream junction box and then connect the whiptail into that. Have a look at the attached photos to see what we had to do. The total cost for all this extra work was significant.Issue 2 - Unwieldy Car Hookup CableThe unit we purchased has a nice long 20 foot car hookup cable, but the problem is that this cable is REALLY thick and heavy. Much too heavy for smaller people (like my wife) to use easily. What's wild is that you can see in the photos that the charging cable that goes to the car is SUBSTANTIALLY thicker than the whip tail that hooks up to the junction box. What is up with that? If you are familiar with the 80A Tesla home chargers (as I was) you will find the cable that runs to the car MUCH thicker and clumsier.Issue 3 - Canadian CertificationThe label on the side of the unit (see attached photo) makes it appear that these units have been fully certified in Canada. Yet when I search the official ULC database for Canada, the HCS line of is not listed. (See attached screen shot.) That's pretty concerning.ConclusionThese chargers are okay. They do charge my car, although sometimes a little noisily. But I strongly, STRONGLY suggest that you investigate your local electrical codes before your purchase the higher end HCS units. In our case they were much more trouble than they were worth.Overall it was TON of a lot of hassle and extra cost to hook up these units. I wish I had purchased different, lower power chargers with thinner car hookup cables. Ones that are explicitly listed in the ULC database.

Did lots of research but decided on this one. No fuss charging, no settings to mess with, it just works. Car takes care of what it needs. Bought the 40amp and had it professionally installed. Needed additional breakerbox work. Do realize they always require additional amps for safety. The 40amp version needs a 50Amp breaker. I had to supply 80 amps to my breaker due to there being an electric oven that uses a 30amp breaker as well. I also choose the nema outlet so in case I need to replace it I can just unplug it. I may decide to use the dual version one day in case I get an additional electric car.I am very happy with it, it charger my 75kw battery in less than 7 hours. For those who never had EV car, you generally are advised not to charge beyond 80%, and you probably don’t drive it till it’s empty, so maybe till 10%. So that gives you an effective range of about 70% of the total range. In my case that’s only about 5 hours of charging. The EV car normally has settings where you can set it up on when to charge, for example past midnight, to save money by charging only during non peak hours.The cable gets warm during charg8ng but not hot. Mostly it lays on the cold garage floor. I’m in California so we’ll see how hot it gets after the winter is over. This is a good brand I’ve seen used at car dealers. I’d stay away from chargers with all the fancy options, they tend to be flakey. I’ve always believed to get the one single tool for the job instead of getting something that promises to do all.

I was attracted to this product because of Clipper Creek's on-line reputation for customer service, the fact that it's made in the USA, and the fact that the company's Web site features a female electrician installing one of the units. (Nothing against men or male electricians, I just thought the photo evidenced a forward-thinking attitude.) I chose a plug-in unit, and had an electrician (male - that's all I could find) install an outlet in my garage. The unit arrived earlier than promised. It was well-packaged, came with all hardware, and features a printed manual with mounting instructions. The unit is reasonably light so it wasn't cumbersome to position. I was able to mount it myself easily and it works perfectly. It doesn't have "smart" features like WiFi and a phone app, but the car has that so I can still keep track of charging status. And, isn't life complicated enough already? You should be aware of the fact that the power cable for the wall outlet comes out the bottom and is large and stiff enough that you don't have much flexibility in distance or lateral spacing from the outlet for positioning the unit. If in doubt, don't have the outlet put in until you receive the unit and you or your electrician can verify where the outlet needs to be located. My outlet is roughly knee-high. See photo.

This EVSE (electric car charger) has fairly basic functionality, but it wins out in industrial design.The unit has no controls or settings you can change; it is all controlled from the car being charged. Feed it with power from a 40A 240V circuit breaker, and you're ready to charge. What I really do like is the way that the cord storage is integrated into the case, the way the case mounts to the wall, and the separate plug storage holster that holds the plug compactly almost parallel to the wall. Mounted on the side of the house next to the driveway, it's nice to not have that be very obtrusive, or sticking out where it can be damaged.The main case mounts with a pair of lag-type screws (included), vertically aligned on a single stud. They are driven from the front, so there is no need to mess around with measurements or opening the case and risking damage to the weatherproofing. I had to drill pilot holes through my stucco wall, but otherwise the included screws don't even need any pre-drilling. I store the cord in three generous loops around the built-in channel on the top of the case, although I usually only need to pull off two of the loops to get to my car's charging port. I have the plug holster mounted one stud over, to the left of the main case, which works very well. This convenient arrangement makes it much easier to hang the cord and plug up when the car is done charging, and leave the driveway tidy.I was very deliberate about the install process, thinking about how I wanted things arranged before I started drilling, and it still took me less than two hours to get it installed and operational.All that said, I do wish that this unit had some sort of connectivity for monitoring and programmability for my electric company's Time of Use plan. It makes much more sense for that programming to be on the fixed EVSE side, rather than in the car (as in the Nissan Leaf) which may use other chargers in other locations.
