For an existing NEMA 14-50 outlet: a name-brand plug-in with an app, stocked in both countries in our data. Trade-offs: a 40 A cap and a two-year warranty.
Updated
- 40 A Max output
- 25 ft Cable length
- Wi-Fi Connectivity
- 2 years Warranty
Pros
- Plugs into a NEMA 14-50 outlet; Leviton makes EV-grade 1450R receptacles
- 25 ft cable and ENERGY STAR certification
- Wi-Fi and the My Leviton app for schedules and charge logs
- NEMA Type 3R enclosure for indoor or outdoor use
- cETLus certified; we track stores for it in both the US and Canada
Cons
- Two-year warranty; the other wall chargers we list offer three years or more
- 40 A maximum, and the manual describes no lower current setting
- Rated down to -22°F rather than -40°F
- The outlet must sit within reach of a 3 ft cord: no extension cords
- Best for
- Homes in the US or Canada that already have, or plan, a NEMA 14-50 outlet and want a name-brand plug-in charger with an app.
- Not for
- Buyers who want 48 A, a longer warranty or a hardwired install; Leviton's EV48W is its hardwired Wi-Fi model.
Our verdict
The EV40P suits a home that already has a NEMA 14-50 outlet, or plans one, and wants a charger from one of the big names in wiring devices. It plugs in with a 3 ft cord, delivers 40 A (9.6 kW) through a 25 ft J1772 cable, and works with the My Leviton app for schedules, session logs and fault alerts. It carries the cETLus mark, and we track it at one US store and two Canadian ones.
Leviton’s manual pairs it with a 50 A breaker and recommends its own 1450R receptacle within reach of the cord. It rules out extension cords and calls for installation by a qualified technician to local codes, so the outlet and circuit are an electrician’s job. For Canadian installs, the manual notes that the local inspector decides whether its flexible cord is acceptable under rule 4-012 of the Canadian Electrical Code.
The catches: output is 40 A with no lower setting described, the two-year warranty is the shortest of the wall chargers we list, the enclosure is rated to -22°F rather than -40°F, and it has no load management of its own (Leviton sells a separate D2HCU controller for homes with undersized service).

Leviton EV40P questions
What outlet does the Leviton EV40P need?
A NEMA 14-50 receptacle on a 50 A circuit, within reach of the charger’s 3 ft input cord. Leviton recommends its 1450R EV-grade receptacle, installed by an electrician to code. For an outdoor outlet, its weather-resistant 1450W goes in a 2-gang outdoor box with a code-compliant weatherproof cover.
Can I use an extension cord with the EV40P?
No. Leviton’s manual says the charger must not be used with an extension cord. Its input cord is only 3 ft long, so the NEMA 14-50 outlet has to be close to where the charger mounts. If the outlet is in the wrong place, have an electrician install one in the right spot rather than bridging the gap.
What do red flashes on the EV40P mean?
A repeating count of red flashes with a 3-second pause marks a fault, such as over- or under-voltage, overcurrent, overheating or a ground fault, and most clear on their own. Constant blinking calls for Leviton support, and a steady red light is a CCID self-test fault.
