Our Leviton Review
Leviton comes at EV charging from the electrical trade rather than from consumer electronics, and it shows in both directions. The EV480 is a straightforward 48A hardwired unit, 11.6 kW, 18 foot cable, ENERGY STAR certified, at $935.96. That is more than the value brands and it buys trade familiarity and a supply chain your electrician already uses. The catch is the warranty: two years on indoor EV charging products, which is short next to the five years several competitors offer on a device that lives outdoors and runs for a decade.
EV480 at $935.96 read from store.leviton.com in August 2026. The Wi-Fi EV48W and the managed EV48S sit above it; prices not read on the same pass. Installation is separate and a 48A charger needs a 60A circuit, which is the part of the budget people underestimate.

Strengths & Considerations
Strengths
- +Long-established electrical manufacturer, so electricians know the product and can source it easily.
- +ENERGY STAR certified on the EV480, with a full 48A and 11.6 kW output and an 18 foot cable.
- +Three tiers from basic hardwired through Wi-Fi to managed charging, without changing brand.
Watch Out For
- −Two-year warranty on indoor EV charging products, shorter than several competitors offer.
- −Hardwired only on the 48A units, so it is not an option if you want a plug-in charger you can take with you.
- −Priced above the value brands without a matching warranty term.
Before You Buy: Confirm These
These are Leviton's own documented terms and open questions, not our own test results. Confirm the specifics in writing before you order.
- ?The warranty is two years. Several competitors give five on a device that lives outside. Weigh that against the price.
- ?A 48A charger requires a 60A circuit. Confirm your panel can carry it before you choose the amperage.
- ?Hardwired means an electrician and a permit in most jurisdictions, and it means the charger does not move house with you.
- ?Check which model is quoted. EV480, EV48W and EV48S are different products at different prices.

Methodology
Brand verdicts are based on buyer fit, app and accessory ecosystem, support path, price pressure, and the risks that tend to show up after install. A strong reply from a manufacturer can improve factual clarity, but it does not improve placement.
If support coverage, warranty language, or dealer access are thin, we would rather say that plainly than hide it behind marketing copy.
