Leviton and Ford Build snazzy new 240V home EV charger

Ford has teamed up with Leviton to create a charger for the 
forthcoming Ford Focus EV that will be arriving soon. With charging times of just 3 hours it is quite fast compared to the 7-8 it takes to charge the Nissan Leaf at home.


The Ford Electric Vehicle Home Charging Station provides up to 32 amps at 240 volts AC (7.7 kW output) – fully charging a Ford Focus Electric’s battery in a little over three hours, more than four times faster than the standard portable charger. The device’s energy-efficient design – the enclosure is made from nearly 60 percent recycled materials – features a low-energy standby power design, contributing to a 50 to 80 percent reduced carbon footprint.
