When making an investment on an EV charger we know that it’s about more than the station. It’s about being able to trust the company you work with. There are a lot of companies that sell chargers but none that meet the values you already expect from Leviton. Quality. Safety. Longevity. You know you can trust your electric vehicle needs to Leviton - a company who has been providing safe and reliable power connections for over 120 years. We’ve been there for you in the past, we will be there for you and all your EV needs for many years to come.
All Leviton EV Charging Stations are ENERGY STAR Certified
According to Energy Star estimates, if every single EV Charger sold in the U.S. met their criteria, "...the savings in energy costs would grow to more than $17 million and 280 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions would be avoided.
EV chargers that earn the ENERGY STAR label are independently certified to save energy and meet safety requirements tested by nationally recognized testing laboratories.

Frequently Asked Questions
Level 1 Charging
Level 1 chargers typically come with your electric vehicle and plug into a standard 120V household outlet (NEMA 5-15). They use a J1772 connector and provide the slowest charging speeds – adding about 3–5 miles of range per hour. This makes them best suited for overnight charging or drivers with minimal daily mileage.
Level 2 Charging
Level 2 chargers are the most common type of public and workplace charging in North America. They use a J1772 connector and operate on 240V power, delivering significantly faster charging – typically around 12–25+ miles of range per hour, depending on the vehicle. As of 2025–2026, about 70–75% of all public charging ports in the U.S. are Level 2, making them the backbone of everyday charging at homes, workplaces, and public destinations.
DC Fast Charging (Level 3)
Level 3 chargers use direct current (DC) to deliver rapid charging, typically via CCS (J1772 Combo) or CHAdeMO connectors. These stations operate at much higher power levels (208/480V) and can add 100–200+ miles of range in about 30 minutes, depending on the vehicle and charger. They represent 25–27% of public charging ports and are commonly found along highways, at travel centers, and in high-traffic commercial areas.

- AC Charging – AC power is put into the vehicle from a charging station, and then the converter inside the vehicle converts it to DC power.
- DC Charging – the charging station, with a built in convertor, converts AC to DC, and then the vehicle receives DC power directly from the charger, allowing for faster charging. DC Charging is often referred to as Level 3 Charging
To estimate your home charging cost, multiply your vehicle’s energy use (kWh per 100 miles) by your electricity rate ($/kWh). The result gives you the cost to drive 100 miles. Read these blogs to learn more:
Yes! There are many Federal and State rebates and incentives being offered to promote the widespread adoption of electric and other alternative fuel vehicles, including tax breaks, reduced utility rates and more. Whether you are an EV driver or a business owner, see which apply to you.
When choosing a Level 2 EV charger, it is important to look for built-in safety features and compliance with industry standards:
- Certification & Code Compliance:
- Select a charging station that meets recognized safety standards, such as UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification and compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC).
- Built-in Safety Protections:
- Look for chargers that include advanced safety features such as ground monitoring circuitry, and over-temperature protection to help prevent electrical hazards and overheating.
Electric vehicles use different metrics than gas-powered cars. Instead of horsepower, EVs are often rated in kilowatts (kW), and instead of MPG, they use MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent). While these terms help compare performance and efficiency, the most important number for charging is your vehicle’s kWh consumption, which determines how much electricity you will use when charging.
Range anxiety is a common concern for people considering an electric vehicle – but most EV drivers quickly find it is not an issue.
- Charge where you live and work:
- You can charge your vehicle at home, at work, or at thousands of public charging stations across the country. With a Level 2 charger at home, many drivers start each day with a full battery – reducing the need for frequent public charging.
- Public charging is widely available:
- A growing network of public charging stations makes it easy to top up while running errands, traveling, or on longer trips. Many EVs and mobile apps can help you locate nearby chargers in real time.
- EV range continues to improve:
- Newer electric vehicles offer longer driving ranges than ever before, making them suitable for both daily commutes and longer journeys.
While the popular Tesla Superchargers in public spaces can ONLY charge Tesla vehicles, you can charge your Tesla virtually anywhere, including Leviton stations! Every Tesla purchase comes with a J1772 adapter that will allow you to use Level 2 stations, and Tesla cars can already accept DC charging stations.
There are car settings that don’t allow your car to be unplugged if it’s still charging. You can also set it so that others can freely unplug the charger if you reached a full charge or whatever designated charge you have for your car.
Yes! Both EVs and EV charging stations meet specific safety ratings and are designed to avoid water intrusion. Electric current will not flow through the charging cable to the EV until a proper connection has been made.
While you will be able to turn your EV on while it is plugged in, your EV will read that your port is open and a connector is attached, and will not let you drive.
EV adoption and infrastructure is expected to grow rapidly. By 2030, it is estimated there will be about 33 million electric vehicles on U.S. roads, requiring approximately 28 million charging ports to support them. (https://www.energy.gov/cmei/vehicles/evgrid-assist-charts-and-figures)
