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.
