As electric vehicles continue to become more commonplace, the convenience of home charging has become more important than ever. Residential EV charging stations provide a reliable and efficient solution for keeping your EV charged and ready to go—without relying on public infrastructure. Among the most trusted residential EV charging stations available today are Leviton EV Series Level 2 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations.

Designed for residential use, these stations are engineered for fast performance and easy use, offering homeowners a powerful charging solution right in their own garage or driveway. 


Why Choose a Level 2 Charging Station?


A standard 120V household outlet (Level 1 charging) can take over 24 hours to fully charge an EV. In contrast, Leviton Level 2 EV charging stations, running on 240V, can deliver at least 7.6kW of charging power—often delivering a full charge in just 4 to 8 hours, depending on the vehicle. Even if your electric vehicle is charging for just an hour or two, you will no longer have range anxiety before going out and saving time and money waiting at public stations. With a wide variety of amperage models (32A to 80A), there’s bound to be a Leviton EV charger that can fit into your home’s electrical capacity. 


Leviton’s chargers are also SAE J1772 compliant and NEMA Type 3R rated, making them compatible with nearly every EV on the market (Tesla drivers can use an adapter, sold separately) and capable of being installed in garages, car ports, or outside. 


Key Features of Leviton EV Series Charging Stations

Leviton’s EV charging stations stand out for their durability, smart features, and ease of installation. Here’s what makes them a top choice:


1. Fast, Reliable Charging

Models like the Leviton EV480 (48A) and EV800 (80A) deliver high-speed charging, while the EV320 (32A) is ideal for homes with lower electrical capacity.

2. Smart Connectivity & Scheduling

Select models, like the EV32W, EV48W, or EV80W offer built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to monitor charging sessions and vehicle status, set schedules (to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates), and receive notifications through the free My Leviton mobile application.

3. Weatherproof, Durable Design

Built to withstand harsh conditions, Leviton’s charging stations are NEMA 3R-rated, meaning they’re safe for both indoor and outdoor installations.

4. Easy Installation & Accessibility

With options for plug-in setups with the LV1450R or hardwiring directly to your breaker box, Leviton chargers can be installed in garages, driveways, or commercial parking structures. Select models support RFID compatibility for tap-and-charge activation/deactivation and restricted charging access.
