LEDVANCE Powers Ahead with PHASE EV™ Gen 2 Level 2 Commercial Charger

April 14, 2025

LEDVANCE has announced the launch of its next-generation PHASE EV™ Gen 2 Level 2 Commercial Charger, delivering a major leap forward in performance, connectivity, and installation flexibility for businesses expanding their EV infrastructure.

Designed to meet the real-world needs of property managers, electrical contractors, and fleet operators, the PHASE EV™ Gen 2 delivers up to 48 amps of charging power (11.5 kW) and introduces modular smart features, multilingual touchscreen controls, and broad compatibility with open network management platforms. An 80-amp version is expected later this year.

“The PHASE EV™ Gen 2 charger was engineered for adaptability,” said Erich Bockley, EVSE Product Manager at LEDVANCE. “It’s built to make installation easier, configuration more flexible, and the end-user experience more intuitive—all while meeting the evolving needs of commercial EV charging.”

New Features Designed for Commercial Success

The PHASE EV™ Gen 2 charger includes a suite of upgrades over the previous generation, tailored specifically to address feedback from the field and future-proof evolving customer needs:

  • Selectable output settings from 8A to 48A, with an 80A version coming soon
  • Large, bright LED status bar integrated around the unit’s face for clear visibility
  • 4.3-inch full-color touchscreen with English, French, and Spanish support
  • WiFi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, and RFID standard
  • Optional 4G module, ISO 15118 (Plug & Charge), and credit card reader
  • Expanded operating range (-40°C to +50°C) with rugged NEMA 4, IP65-rated, IK08 enclosure
  • Wall and pedestal mounting options, including back-to-back and side-by-side configurations
  • CTEP Certified and available in Canada

The charger also includes a 25-foot SAE J1772 charging cable and supports rear or bottom wiring, simplifying installations for contractors and facility managers.

Smart Charging Meet Seamless Integration

The PHASE EV™ Gen 2 commercial charger supports Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP 1.6J / 2.0.1) and is pre-configured for ChargeLab, a leading Charge Station Management System (CSMS). This allows for advanced functionality such as:

  • Revenue collection and payment processing
  • Load balancing and demand management
  • User access control via RFID, QR code, or app
  • Real-time diagnostics and over-the-air updates

Customers who do not require networked functionality can also operate the charger in plug-and-charge (free-charging) mode.

Availability

The PHASE EV™ Gen 2 commercial charger is available now through authorized LEDVANCE distributors across North America. Multiple configurations and mounting accessories are in stock to support a wide range of site requirements.
