Leviton, a leading provider in residential and commercial electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and wireless smart home technology, launched the new EV Series Charging Station with My Leviton app compatibility. The newest series includes 32, 48 and 80 Amp Level 2 charging stations now with integration with the My Leviton ecosystem. The My Leviton app allows users to control their entire smart home from a single app, including EV Series chargers.

Using the My Leviton App, users can remotely view the status of their charging station and when it is ready to charge, in an active charging session or when a session has ended. Users can also remotely stop and start a charging session if the vehicle is plugged in via the app. Users can also schedule what day and times their vehicle should change, which can benefit the owner by allowing them to schedule charging during off peak utility hours, saving money on electricity bills. Additionally, users can get notified if any fault occurs during a charging session to ensure better performance.

For those users opting for RFID access, this can also be controlled via the My Leviton app. Users can enable or disable RFID access control, removing the need for an admin card and providing an easier mean of disabling RFID. Users can also remotely authenticate charging in the app in place of using a standard RFID at the charger. In addition to the EV Series, My Leviton app allows for control of the Leviton Smart Load Center and the Decora Smart™ Wi-Fi® product lines, letting users perform actions such as viewing real-time load center energy consumption and scheduling lighting scenes.

My Leviton compatible charging stations are just the latest addition to Leviton’s EV Series portfolio, which officially launched in 2022. The series was re-designed to feature a sleek look and feel, a new Energy Star rating and higher amperages for faster vehicle charging. Designed for use by any SAE J1772 compatible electric vehicle, including vehicles by Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Subaru, and Tesla with a Tesla-supplied adapter, the charging stations can be installed for indoor or outdoor use thanks to its thermoplastic, water-resistant enclosure and cable design that prevents freezing and cracking. The charging station is easy to install with pre-attached input cables and mounting hardware included. Users can also purchase pedestal options to save on installation cost, time and space. The EV Series charging stations are Energy Star certified and rated NEMA Type 3R.

In addition to the My Leviton app, the EV Series can easily integrate with other Leviton electrical infrastructure solutions, including surge protection devices. In recognition of the rapidly changing EV marketplace and the evolving charger lineup, Leviton has expanded its dedicated EVSE quality and support team, assisting customers with understanding installation requirements, local codes, applications, and rebates and incentives.
