The Leviton EV40P is a 40-amp plug-in Level 2 EV charger that delivers 9.6 kW and up to 30 miles of range per hour - without requiring an electrician for permanent wiring. It plugs into any existing NEMA 14-50 outlet (the same type used for electric dryers and RVs), making it the fastest path to a home EV charger if a 50-amp outlet is already installed. The 25-foot cable reaches any vehicle position in a standard garage. Wi-Fi links to the My Leviton app for scheduling, status monitoring, and energy use tracking. NEMA Type 3R enclosure rated for outdoor use. When you move, unplug and take it. Compatible with all SAE J1772 EVs.
What does a NEMA 14-50 outlet look like, and where is it usually found?
A NEMA 14-50 is a large four-prong 240-volt outlet commonly used for RV hookups, ranges, and some workshop equipment. In homes, it may be found in garages, utility areas, or exterior walls if a previous owner installed one specifically for EV charging or recreational vehicle use.
Why is a plug-in charger faster to set up than a hardwired charger?
If a code-compliant 50-amp NEMA 14-50 receptacle is already installed in the right location, setup is mostly mounting the unit and plugging it in. A hardwired charger usually requires new permanent wiring, a direct electrical connection, and more electrician labor.
How fast does the EV40P charge compared with slower EV chargers?
Leviton rates the EV40P at up to 30 miles of range per hour, which is faster than many 32-amp home chargers and dramatically faster than Level 1 charging from a standard 120-volt outlet. Actual charging speed still depends on the vehicle and supply voltage.
Will it charge a Tesla, and is an adapter required?
Yes. The EV40P uses the SAE J1772 connector standard, so most non-Tesla EVs plug in directly. Tesla vehicles need the matching J1772 adapter to connect.
Can this model be hardwired instead of used as a plug-in charger?
This specific model is designed as a plug-in charger with a NEMA 14-50P input cord. If you want a permanently wired installation, the hardwired EV32W or EV48W is the more appropriate choice rather than modifying the plug-in model.
