The weatherproof, thermoplastic NEMA Type 4 enclosure makes the device safe for use in both indoor and outdoor locations. The unit comes standard with Leviton’s patent-pending “cord-connected” system to plug into a power outlet, with the capability to be converted to hard-wire for outdoor applications.

The 40A charging station includes a 10-year limited product warranty when installed by Leviton’s EVSE-certified electrical contractors. Leviton designed its charging station with supervisory, contactor and ground monitoring circuits, as well as built-in communication to verify proper connection before charging can commence. The device’s “Auto-Restart” feature enables charging to restart following a minor fault, thereby reducing the chance of being stranded with an undercharged battery.

The charging station will be available for purchase through Leviton’s customer website for Toyota owners later this year.
