Leviton, a provider of residential electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and wireless smart home technology, has released a plug-in version of the EV Series Smart Home. Originally launched in 2023 with the hardwired versions only, EV Series Smart Home stations are compatible with the My Leviton App, allowing users to take control of their entire smart home including lighting, load centres, and EV Charging.
Using the My Leviton app, users can schedule efficient charging sessions in advance, such as scheduling during off-peak utility hours to save on electricity bills. If the vehicle is plugged in, users can remotely stop and start charging from anywhere, view the charging status, receive fault notifications, and more.
In addition to viewing 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 centre energy consumption and scheduling lighting scenes.
The EV Series can easily integrate with other Leviton electrical infrastructure solutions, including surge protection device receptacles. Featuring a NEMA 14-50 plug, the EV Series Smart Home plug-in stations require a NEMA 14-50 receptacle, such as Leviton’s new Heavy-Duty EV Charging Receptacles launched in early 2024.
“As the EV charging industry continues to grow and expand into new areas, so does Leviton,” said Andrew Taddoni, director of EVSE business development and product management, Leviton commercial and industrial. “The new plug-in charger is just the latest expansion of our portfolio, providing EV owners with the same benefits of our hardwired EV Series Smart Home stations, plus the added benefit of portability and flexibility.”
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.
