Indicative pricing isn&#8217;t available as yet, but as this is Enphase, it likely won&#8217;t be cheap. But the warranty duration is pretty impressive for an EV charger as most are just a few years.<\/p>\n<p>A full datasheet <a href=\"https:\/\/enphase.com\/download\/iq-bidirectional-ev-charger-data-sheet\">is available here<\/a>, but note that&#8217;s a preliminary datasheet for North America.

The main <a href=\"https:\/\/enphase.com\/ev-chargers\/bidirectional\">product page is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Enphase IQ EV Charger 2 (AC) Available In Australia<\/h2>\n<p>In May this year, we wrote about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/enphase-sungrow-chargers-mb3182\/\">Enphase IQ EV Charger 2<\/a>, which was to offer *AC* bidirectional functionality. This also requires a vehicle that is bidirectional capable; of which there are still few available here.<\/p>\n<p>Enphase originally said the IQ EV Charger 2 was V2X-capable (Vehicle to Everything), but software-locked and further details of these capabilities were vague. The device is now available in Australia, and on announcing its availability here, Enphase said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The IQ EV Charger 2 is equipped with built-in hardware and software to support AC bidirectional charging. While availability depends on EV compatibility, standards, and regional certifications, this feature is built to enable vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration \u2013 supporting homeowners with resilience and flexibility.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Back in May, the IQ EV Charger 2 price on the Australian Enphase online store was $2,048, but that pricing has been removed since. There wasn&#8217;t any mention if unlocking the bidirectional features involved an extra cost.<\/p>\n<p>While still very new to the Australian market, we&#8217;ve set up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/ev-chargers\/reviews\/enphase-energy-review.html\">customer reviews page for Enphase EV chargers here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>AC Vs. DC Charging<\/h2>\n<p>In AC bidirectional charging, the vehicle\u2019s onboard systems handle the two-way power conversion. By contrast, DC bidirectional charging relies on a dedicated DC connection, where the power conversion is managed by external electronics built into the charger rather than the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/electric-vehicles\/ev-charging-guide\/#hard-wired\">Learn more about AC vs. DC EV Charging.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Is V2G All It&#8217;s Cracked Up To Be?<\/h2>\n<p>While on the topic, SolarQuotes founder Finn Peacock&#8217;s latest post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/forget-v2g-lets-get-serious-about-g2v\/\">discusses V2G<\/a>, saying the focus shouldn&#8217;t be running cars backwards into the grid, but ensuring as many electric vehicles as possible can charge when the sun is shining.<\/p>\n<p>And if you find all these acronyms confusing, check out our explainer: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/electric-vehicles\/v2l-v2g-v2h\/\">V2L, V2G, V2H, V2X &#8211; WTF?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Related:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/ev-chargers\/\">Home EV chargers compared side-by-side<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enphase Energy has taken the wraps off its new IQ Bidirectional EV Charger, a DC device that will offer vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) support.
