Toyota Selects Leviton As An Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Provider

Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. announced on August 10 that Leviton, a global manufacturer of electrical wiring devices, has been selected as an approved Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) provider for Toyota customers and dealers.

"Leviton provides electric vehicle charging products and a high level of customer service that will benefit both Toyota customers and dealers when the Prius Plug-in Hybrid vehicles and next generation RAV4 EV come to market in 2012," said Rick LoFaso, Toyota Motor Sales Corporate Manager, Marketing for Passenger Cars.

"Toyota and Leviton are two companies that share a core set of values that focus on safety, customer service, and the vision to build a sustainable future by offering a portfolio of green solutions," said Michael Mattei, Vice President and General Manager for Leviton’s Commercial and Industrial Business Unit. "Leviton is committed to providing an industry-leading portfolio of EV charging solutions, designed and developed in the United States, for residential consumers, automakers, and electrical industry professionals."

Toyota is the only manufacturer bringing two battery electric vehicles to the U.S. in 2012 - the RAV4 EV and the Scion iQ EV. While the RAV4 EV will be available to the public, the Scion iQ EV will be utilized for demonstration program applications only. Toyota also will bring to market in 2012 the Prius Plug-in Hybrid vehicle, which combines an extended all-electric range for shorter commutes with a conventional hybrid synergy drive for longer trips.

Leviton’s support includes program management of a certified installation team and an extensive customer service center. Leviton offers a variety of electrical vehicle supply equipment products for commercial and residential use that will offer Toyota dealers and customers an assortment of charging solutions to fit their needs.

Toyota’s electric vehicle charger complies with all industry standards, including the current National Electrical Code. Assembled in the United States, they have been specifically developed to meet stringent automotive quality, product development, and testing requirements and are compatible with all major automakers’ vehicles (SAE J1772TM compliant).
