Charging Ahead: How Contractors Can Win with Leviton Home EV Charging Solutions
It is 10:35 p.m., and the house is finally quiet after a long day of wrestling deadlines, decisions, and dreams. The dishwasher is humming; everything is under control, and you have just gotten comfortable and snuggled up with a cup of hot tea and a good book. Then out of the dark comes a voice. “Did you plug in the car?”
You groan and drag your annoyed self out of bed, into your slippers, and down the stairs. As you take your nighttime walk of charging shame, you hope the car will have enough juice to get you through the next day.
Welcome to the 2026 version of “Did you take out the trash?”
Home Electric Vehicle Charging on the Rise
Global electric vehicle adoption rates are accelerating, and contractors are well-positioned to benefit from this increase, especially for residential units. EV charging is becoming less of an optional standalone installation and more of an expected feature of many smart homes. Consumers want increased energy management, convenience and safety, and Leviton brings the required solutions to the market.

Electric Vehicle Solutions for Homeowners
Leviton devices, including switches, dimmers, GFCIs and load centers, are designed to make life easier for homeowners and installing quality Leviton EV chargers and related accessories in the garage also makes sense. The My Leviton app connects all your Leviton smart devices. Think more with Leviton.
My Leviton App: Thinking back to that nighttime scenario and parading through the house to plug in the car. Wouldn’t it be great for a homeowner to just lean over, grab the cell phone on the nightstand, and check to see if all the smart devices, including the EV charger in the garage, are working as they should? With the My Leviton app, homeowners can not only see if the car is plugged in but also schedule charging sessions.
- Remotely start or stop charging and check the charging status
- View all the smart devices on one dashboard
- Receive fault notifications
- Log charging sessions (charge duration, kW usage, etc.)
Julia Cavaluzzi, Leviton C&I Product Marketing Manager, explains the benefits to contractors by offering the Leviton EV line along with the rest of the smart products offered.
“With My Leviton, it is about the entire smart home being on one app, one ecosystem, one brand. It simplifies the whole process for everyone. Contractors can help their customers by providing an entire smart home package which not only includes the EV charger, but also the load center, lighting controls, and Decora Smart products,” said Cavaluzzi.
