The Enphase HCS-50 is a reliable, rugged Level 2 EV charger (EVSE) designed for residential and light commercial use. It requires a dedicated 50 Amp circuit breaker and delivers up to 40 A continuous output (9.6 kW maximum power) at 208/240 VAC single-phase. This provides fast charging—up to about 7 times faster than a standard Level 1 cord set—adding up to approximately 38 miles of range per hour, depending on the vehicle's efficiency and onboard charger capabilities. Key Features Convenient — Comes with a generous 25-foot (7.6 m) charging cable, integrated cable wrap for tidy storage, wall-mounted J1772 connector holster, and clear LED status indicators (e.g., for power, charging, and faults). Durable — Features an impact- and crush-resistant SAE J1772 connector, Type 4X watertight and corrosion-resistant design, and a fully sealed NEMA 4 enclosure suitable for indoor or outdoor installations in extreme weather. Reliable — Compatible with all North American EVs using the J1772 standard. Includes built-in safety protections such as ground fault detection (CCID 20 mA with auto-reset), open ground protection, short-circuit safeguards, and automatic recovery after minor power interruptions. Certifications — ENERGY STAR® certified, ETL/cETLus listed, compliant with UL standards (e.g., UL 2594, UL 2251), NEC Article 625, SAE J1772, and more. Variants — Available in hardwired configurations (with a 3 ft service whip) or plug-in options (e.g., NEMA 6-50 or NEMA 14-50 receptacle versions for easier installation in some setups).
