Leviton Supplies Commercial Electric Car Charging Station in New Jersey at IEEE Operations Center

Leviton unveiled one of the first commercial electric vehicle charging stations in central New Jersey at the IEEE operations center in Piscataway during a ribbon cutting ceremony earlier today. The Leviton Evr-Green™ Level 2 Commercial Charging Station, donated by Graybar, provides IEEE employees who own electric vehicles a convenient location to recharge for free while at work. IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional association advancing technology for humanity, with 400,000 members worldwide.

"Leviton’s relationship with IEEE is a major step in the right direction to help promote the further adoption and expansion of electric vehicle usage," explained Mike Mattei, Vice President and General Manager for Leviton’s Commercial and Industrial Division. "At Leviton, we aim to create commercial electric power delivery solutions that are easy-to-use, and the Evr-Green electric vehicle charging products continue that tradition."

Designed to meet the needs of customers and employees at organizations such as IEEE, Leviton’s Evr-Green Commercial Charging Stations are easy to use and highly reliable. Power is delivered through a single output that provides 7.2kW (208/ 240V @ 30A) Level 2 charging which is delivered via a standard SAE J1772(™ connector and 18-foot cable.

Running through the ChargePoint network, described as the largest network of electric vehicle charging stations in the world, Leviton’s Evr-Green Commercial Charging Stations provide 24/7 driver support through a toll-free number, real-time reporting of station activity, station monitoring and access restriction to ensure only IEEE employees utilize the equipment. To access the station, employees use a ChargePass™ Card or call ChargePoint’s toll-free customer service number located on the charging station’s screen. Using the ChargePass Card to establish access ensures IEEE’s charging station is only available for authorized employees.

Leviton’s Evr-Green Commercial Charging Stations are available for immediate delivery from Graybar, a distributor of high quality electrical, communications and data networking products and related services. The Evr-Green charging stations are listed to UL 2594, and comply with all industry standards, including the current National Electrical Code™. They have been specifically developed to meet stringent automotive quality, product development and testing requirements.
