I have now replaced the contactor three times. It works when first charging. Our Chevy Bolt has a 60kWh battery and charges at 32 amps. When I have a nearly empty battery is when I see that the Leviton starts having problems. Near the end of the charge is when you can hear the contacts...

I have the Leviton EVB40-PST Evr-Green 400 EV charger, 40-Amp, Surface Mount, 25-Foot Cord, Requires 50Amp circuit. It has been making loud clicking noises during charging. I suspect the contactor is going bad? I have a part number from the unit HCC-2XU24GG291240/277 VAC 40 FLA 200 LRA . It is...

The tech that I spoke to said that they no long repair units. If yours is bad they will replace it as long as it is in warranty. If out of warranty they will help you trouble shoot it but no long have access to parts. Go figure, probably changed their policy in 2017? Manny

I just got off the phone with Leviton. Bad news is my 3 year warranty was up in March of 2017. While not in warranty they will trouble shoot with you to try and solve the problem. When I mentioned what had happened, the technician suggested that it could have been a bad signal from the car...

I have had a Leviton EVR40 charger for about 3 years now. I used it on the Rav4, our Kia SoulEV and now the Chevy Bolt. This morning I heard a strange noise that I thought was coming from the roof. It was early and I just could not figure it out. I had to go so as I entered the garage I...

I just acquired a Bolt EV Premier with the infotainment package,driver confidence package, DC fast charging, and Cajun Red Tint coat. That is about the max that you can get the car for. The MSRP was $43,999 and the dealer gave us a $2000 discount off of that price. While GM is not giving out...

I ended up turning in my Rav4EV because of a Air Bag fault that could not be fixed by the dealer after 3 to 4 tries. I decided to turn it in. The only vehicle I considered that was available at the time was the Highlander hybrid. I ended up getting a 2015 in Nov of 2015 and have been driving...

[Moderator Edit: delete comments] I really enjoyed the Rav4EV. We just needed a car that could travel longer distances without requiring a charge. To make it work I would have needed to add the fast charger system that Tony is offering. When we move back to Santa Barbara my wife will need to...

The car comes with 3 years 36,000 miles so the new buyer still has 12000 miles. What more does anyone need? Why would you want an extended warranty???? That is a good price. I just turned my car in to Toyota for a new Highlander Hybrid. I was going to sell it. I owed $27,000 and it had...

I want to say that it is a Curt Manufactured hitch. It did not require any cutting and it is rated as a 3500 lb. hitch though you would never want to tow anything that heavy. We used it for our bicycles. It is in excellent condition and does not protrude significantly. It has the smaller...

We just traded in the Rav4EV for a Highlander Hybrid. With two electric cars (Kia Soul EV) we were limited in distance. We have a big dog (Great Pyrenees) that we often take with us. He fits in the back of the Rav4EV, though there is no air outlets back there. We are moving back to Santa...

I lost one around 10k to 12k and the dealer replaced it under warranty. If it comes off again I expect they should replace it as it is not glued on or tightly held. Manny
