Leviton’s name already turns up twice on this site — its 51110-SRG surge protector in our EV charger surge protector guide and its 279-S00 receptacle in our NEMA 14-50 guide — but always as an accessory brand, never as the charger itself. That’s a gap, because the 100-plus-year-old electrical manufacturer sells three current Level 2 EV chargers of its own, and they land in a very different price bracket than the surge protectors and receptacles it’s known for on this site.
Leviton by the numbers
- Three current smart chargers, one shared platform — the EV40P (plug-in), EV32W (hardwired), and EV48W (hardwired) all run Wi-Fi with the My Leviton app, use a J1772 connector, and carry Leviton’s standard 2-year warranty on indoor EV charging products, per the manufacturer’s own product pages.
- Only the plug-in model is competitively priced — the EV40P’s $499 list price has dropped as low as $334 (February 2025) and $384-$399 (2024-2025 sale cycles), per 9to5Toys’ pricing coverage, while the hardwired EV32W and EV48W consistently retail well above same-amperage chargers elsewhere on this site.
- 48A costs roughly 2x what it does from Tesla — the EV48W’s roughly $749-$1,000 street price (per SupplyHouse and Leviton’s own store) is more than double the Tesla Wall Connector’s price of about $475 for identical 48A/11.6kW output, per this site’s own best hardwired EV charger research.
- NEMA Type 3R rated across the lineup — every current Leviton charger is water-resistant and rated for indoor or outdoor mounting, per the manufacturer’s spec sheets.
- No recall on the charging stations themselves — Leviton’s only relevant CPSC recall covers mismarked wire terminals in certain 50-Amp Non-NEMA industrial receptacles made in 2019, not the EV40P, EV32W, or EV48W.
Leviton lineup compared
| Model | Best for | Max output | Install | Cable | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leviton EV40P | Best value | 40A / 9.6 kW | NEMA 14-50 plug-in | 25 ft. | ~$334-$499 |
| Leviton EV32W | Mid-tier hardwired | 32A / 7.6 kW | Hardwired (40A breaker) | 18 ft. | ~$665-$770 |
| Leviton EV48W | Most output | 48A / 11.6 kW | Hardwired (60A breaker) | 18 ft. | ~$749-$1,000 |
1. Leviton EV40P — Best Value
Leviton EV40P
- Plugs into a standard NEMA 14-50 outlet at up to 40A/9.6kW — no electrician needed if you already have the outlet.
- 25-foot cable, the longest in Leviton's lineup, useful for garages with an off-center outlet.
- My Leviton app adds Wi-Fi scheduling and usage tracking; UL and ENERGY STAR certified.
- Regularly discounted well below its $499 list price — 9to5Toys has tracked sale lows of $334-$444 across 2024-2025.

The EV40P is the only Leviton charger where the brand’s century of electrical manufacturing experience comes without a price premium attached. At its regular sale price it lands close to a Lectron Portable Level 2 in output and cost, but adds Leviton’s own app and a longer cable — a straightforward pick if you already have or can add a NEMA 14-50 outlet and don’t need the extra 8A the hardwired EV48W offers.
2. Leviton EV32W — Mid-Tier Hardwired
Leviton EV32W
- Hardwired only, requiring a dedicated 40A breaker — no plug-in option on this model.
- 18-foot cable and a J1772 connector, with the same My Leviton app and Wi-Fi scheduling as the EV40P.
- Delivers roughly 39 miles of range per hour of charging, per Leviton's own product spec.
- Priced above the plug-in EV40P despite lower output (32A vs. 40A) — the premium here buys a permanent hardwired install, not more power.
The EV32W is the charger to skip unless you specifically want a hardwired install at exactly 32A — which is unusual, since most buyers hardwiring a charger at all size the circuit for 48A instead. For the same or less money, our best hardwired EV charger roundup covers options that deliver more output per dollar at this price point.
3. Leviton EV48W — Most Output
Leviton EV48W
- Leviton's top-output charger — 48A/11.6kW hardwired, matching the ceiling of most premium competitors.
- Requires a 60A breaker and professional hardwired installation; no plug-in version at this output.
- Same 18-foot cable, My Leviton app, and 2-year warranty as the EV32W.
- Priced well above same-output competitors: roughly $749 (SupplyHouse) to over $1,000 (Leviton's own store), against the Tesla Wall Connector's price of about $475 or ChargePoint Home Flex's about $549 for comparable or greater output.
If your panel supports a 60A circuit and you want the fastest charging Leviton offers, the EV48W delivers it — but at a real cost premium over this site’s other 48A picks. Our best 48-amp EV charger roundup ranks true-48A units by price-per-amp, and the EV48W’s roughly $16-21/amp is meaningfully behind the Tesla Wall Connector’s roughly $9.90/amp or ChargePoint’s roughly $10.98/amp at the same tier.
How Leviton compares on price-per-amp
| Charger | Price | Max output | Install | Buy it if |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leviton EV40P | ~$334-$499 | 40A / 9.6 kW | Plug-in only | You want Leviton's app at a competitive price |
| Leviton EV48W | ~$749-$1,000 | 48A / 11.6 kW | Hardwired only | You specifically want the Leviton brand and app |
| Tesla Wall Connector | ~$475 | 48A / 11.6 kW | Hardwired only | You want the same output for less |
| ChargePoint Home Flex | ~$549 | 50A / 12 kW | Hardwired or plug-in | You want the most mature app ecosystem |
Leviton’s pitch isn’t the lowest price for the amperage — it’s the name of a company that’s made electrical hardware since 1906, already on the panel or in the wall in a lot of homes, extending that trust to the charger itself. That’s a real reason to consider it if you already use Leviton receptacles or switches, but on pure dollars-per-amp, the EV48W and EV32W both lose to this site’s usual hardwired picks.
How to pick the right Leviton
- Start with the EV40P if you can use a NEMA 14-50 outlet. It’s the only Leviton charger that regularly prices competitively, especially when caught on a sale cycle below $400.
- Skip the EV32W unless you need exactly 32A hardwired. It costs more than the plug-in EV40P for less output — there’s rarely a reason to choose it over the EV40P or EV48W.
- Choose the EV48W only if brand trust or a Leviton ecosystem matters to you. On pure price-per-amp, the Tesla Wall Connector or ChargePoint Home Flex deliver the same or more output for less.
- Consider the non-Wi-Fi EV320/EV480 if you don’t need app control. They share the same output and connector as the EV32W/EV48W at a lower price, without the My Leviton features.
- Check your utility’s approved-brand list before buying for a rebate. Leviton’s UL and ENERGY STAR certification meets most program requirements, but confirm your specific utility names the brand — see our EV charger rebate guide for the state-by-state breakdown.
Verdict
The best Leviton EV charger for most homes is the EV40P at roughly $334-$499 — real 40A output, Leviton’s own app, and the only model in the lineup that regularly beats equivalent-amperage competitors on price. The EV48W (~$749-$1,000) is the pick if you need the full 48A and want to stay in the Leviton ecosystem, but it’s a genuine premium over this site’s usual 48A picks like the Tesla Wall Connector or ChargePoint Home Flex. The EV32W is the one to skip — its 32A output at a higher price than the plug-in EV40P rarely makes sense once you’ve compared all three side by side.
