Available for purchase this spring, the charger is part of Leviton’s Evr-Green line of residential, commercial and public charging equipment. The Portable Charger can be plugged into any standard 15-amp or 20-amp, 125-volt grounded receptacle found in almost all homes, buildings and public facilities in the US and Canada. The charger allows drivers to charge an electric vehicle at home, or to take the charger with them, allowing them to plug in at stops along the way or when they arrive at their destination.
Evr-Green chargers comply with all industry standards, including the current National Electrical Code. Assembled in the United States, the chargers are backed by a three-year warranty, and are compatible with all major automakers’ plug-in vehicles (SAE J1772 compliant).
A handle and a cord management system allow for easy transport and storage. The portable cord set also has a selectable charge rate to minimize circuit overload.
In addition, a watertight, dust-tight and corrosion-resistant enclosure provides for indoor/outdoor use. The enclosure is constructed with an eco-friendly PBT resin that features a 50% to 85% lower carbon footprint than other thermoplastics, according to Leviton. The patent pending design also has a dockable holder for the J1772 charge connector. This holder enables consumers to conveniently store the connector.
