Leviton launches new next generation workplace EV charging pedestals

The new pedestal system integrates the company’s Evr-Green 32-amp EV charging station with a new affordable pedestal system that is equipped to provide single or dual EV mounting options thereby allowing users to charge two vehicles per pedestal.

“From our nearly 3,000 electric vehicle installation experiences at dealerships throughout North America and our membership in the Department of Energy's Workplace Charging Initiative, we've learned that consumers desire a workplace electric vehicle charging system that delivers on the principles of safety, convenience, cost-effectiveness and reliability” said Manoj Karwa, Senior Director of EVSE Programs for Leviton's Commercial and Industrial Business Unit. “At Leviton, we see more and more companies showing environmental leadership and installing electric vehicle infrastructure. Our goal is to safely offer a system that can deliver more than 15kW of power with a starting price under $1,300 to meet this growing trend.”

The new pedestal is constructed of durable powder coated steel and incorporates applications for either indoor or outdoor use. It also features the company’s proprietary charge coupler docking system that keeps the connector off the ground while the cord wraps around the charging station. Both the charging station and the charge connector can be locked to prevent unauthorised use. The pedestal system is made in the US and complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Mr. Karwa added that Leviton designed the EV charging station pedestals to meet the requirements of the next generation of EVs while still providing a cost-effective charging solution. The pedestals are suited to a wide variety of applications, including auto dealerships, car rental agencies, city and township municipalities, healthcare facilities, educational institutions and any commercial or multi-dwelling unit (MDU) setting.
