WEN DF680iX 6,800 W dual fuel inverter generator review

A 5,100 W rated dual fuel inverter generator with a 240 V L14-30R outlet, bonded neutral for low-power Level 2 EV charging, for $798.

Into 240 V

WEN’s DF680iX delivers 6,800 surge and 5,100 rated watts on gasoline, 6,000 and 4,500 on propane, and adds an L14-30R 120/240 V receptacle. That is the outlet a home transfer switch or a 240 V well pump needs.

EV charging

WEN configures the 240 V output with a bonded neutral and says it provides low-power Level 2 charging for battery and hybrid electric vehicles. EV chargers often refuse floating-neutral generators; the bonded neutral addresses that. Charging speed is limited by the generator.

The rest

Electric start, wheels, a 2.9-gallon tank, CO Watchdog, TT-30R and two 120 V receptacles. It weighs 99.2 lb.

Questions owners ask about this one

Can it charge my electric car?

WEN says its bonded-neutral 240 V configuration provides low-power Level 2 charging. Expect a slow top-up, set to the generator’s limits.

Can it power my house?

Through a transfer switch or interlock on the L14-30R outlet, installed by an electrician. Check the bonded-neutral requirement with the installer.

How heavy is it?

99.2 lb, with wheels and a telescoping handle.

Our score

8.0/ 10

The first generator on this shelf with a 240 V outlet, at a good price per watt. The EV charging claim is real but slow.
