Leviton has introduced its weather-resistant EV outlet with outdoor cover (Part No. EVCVM), the latest addition to its expanding electric vehicle charging portfolio. Engineered to prioritize safety, code compliance, and long-term reliability, this new offering provides customers with an all-in-one solution for EV-ready homes and is purpose-built to meet the demands of residential outdoor installations.
The steel surface mount cover is NEMA 3R rated, providing protection against rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations. Its lockable design prevents unauthorized access, which is a critical feature for exposed installations. Designed for flexible installation, the cover supports both wall and pedestal mounting, making it useful in a wide range of residential layouts and retrofit scenarios.
The 50 Amp outlet is also designed to ensure dependable and safe performance under demanding conditions. Featuring a high-impact nylon body, heavy-gauge copper contacts, and pressure-wire terminals, the outlet accommodates #4, #6, or #8 AWG copper conductors, as well as #10 AWG permitted for the ground, to give installers the versatility they need to meet current and future EV charging requirements and standards.
The new EV outlet with outdoor cover pairs seamlessly with any plug-in EV charger, including Leviton’s EV Series plug-in chargers (EV40P), which is compatible with smart home systems via the My Leviton app.
