Plugging Into Profit: Driving Sales with Leviton EV Charging Stations
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 got 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 distributors 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.
With 120 years of reliable power solutions, Leviton’s experience and stability means their solutions are designed to meet your customers’ EV charging station needs, positioning your company at the top of the EV charging food chain. Leviton is a pioneer in the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) industry, offering tried-and-true EV solutions while bringing state-of-the-art products to market as they are introduced.
Electric Vehicle Solutions for Homeowners
Leviton devices, including switches, dimmers, receptacles, 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, is working as it should? With the My Leviton app, homeowners can not only see if the car is plugged in, but also schedule charging sessions and more, no slippers needed!
- 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 distributors by selling 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. Distributors can help their contractors sell 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.
