Leviton and Honda Increase Customer Satisfaction of EV Owners

Beginning June 1, 2013 all Honda Fit EV leases will include the Leviton 32 amp, 240 volt (Level 2) electric vehicle charging station. Leviton’s enhanced Level 2 charging station offers customers significantly reduced charging times, and provides unmatched convenience and performance right from the dealership.

The Leviton 32 amp charging station utilizes Leviton’s patent pending “plugged-in” design and has been tested to exceed National Electric Code and Underwriters Laboratory (UL) standards. Also, it provides safety devices not found in other charging stations in the marketplace, including a watertight enclosure with NEMA 4 rating and proprietary GFCI technology. It is backed by an industry leading product warranty, and lifetime telephone support.

To obtain the new Leviton charging station, new Honda Fit EV customers need only contact their local dealership to arrange delivery. The charging station has been rigorously tested and verified by Honda – in both the USA and Japan – for use with the Fit EV.

In addition to the 32 amp charger, customers will also receive a proprietary installation kit that, once installed, enables them to remove and re-install the electric vehicle charging station without any special tools. This modularity enables customers to easily take their charging station with them in case they move – an important consideration for customers.

Installation services are optionally available through Leviton at the customer’s expense – only the charging station hardware is provided as part of the lease agreement.

EISA & Energy Saving Pulse Start: Fixtures Powered by the latest in energy saving technology

Effective January 1, 2009: Metal Halide 150w-500w fixture production will meet higher efficiency standards (88% for pulse start, 94% for probe start).
•This will virtually eliminate the manufacture of probe start fixtures
•One exception is significant: The 150w wet location fixtures (as rated per NEC 2002, section 410.4 (A)).
•175w wet location rated fixtures will thus be replaced by 150w

Energy Advantage

With pulse start technology you can use lower wattage fixtures for equivalent lumen output of higher wattage traditional probe start fixtures:
•350w or 320w pulse start fixtures can replace standard 400w probe start fixtures
•150w pulse start fixtures can replace standard 175w probe start fixtures

What happens to Probe Start?

The law allows manufacturers and distributors to sell all probe start MH fixture inventories produced before January 1, 2009.
•Ballast and lamp suppliers will continue to build components for replacement business.
•Replacement ballast and lamp business will not be impacted.
