The Leviton 1450W is a weather-resistant NEMA 14-50R receptacle built for outdoor NEMA 14-50 plug-in EV chargers. It’s a preferred option for driveway, EV charger pedestal, and carport installations where exposure to the elements is a factor. Like its indoor counterpart, the 1450-W is rated for 50 amps at 250 volts and bears the green EV symbol for charger compatibility.
The Leviton 1450W is a premium-priced, weather-resistant NEMA 14-50 outlet built for outdoor Level 2 EV charging, offering rugged durability and protection against the elements. In contrast, the indoor-rated Leviton 1450R is a budget-friendly indoor-only model that delivers the same 50A, 250V performance but lacks weatherproofing.

The
Leviton 1450R is a NEMA 14-50R receptacle designed for
indoor Level 2 EV charging. Rated for 50 amps at 250V, it features industrial-grade construction, side wiring, and a grounded steel strap. Its green EV symbol marks it as certified for plug-in EV charger installations in garages or utility rooms.
It features a tough, UV-stabilized housing and a protective lift cover, essential for outdoor safety. Proper installation requires proper earthing of the EV charger circuit, mounting in a weatherproof enclosure, and wiring it downstream from a 50A dedicated EV charger circuit breaker. All terminals (X, Y, W, and G) are marked and accept up to No. 4 AWG solid copper wire, with 6 AWG solid copper strongly recommended for 40A continuous loads which are common in NEMA 14-50 EV charger installations.
The outlet’s terminal screws require tightening to 75 in-lbs with a torque wrench and 5/32″ hex key. Failing to meet the torque spec is a common cause of heat-related outlet failures. We’ve found that when installed correctly, the 1450-W maintains excellent thermal stability under prolonged charging sessions, even in hot or wet conditions.
One recurring issue we’ve observed in failed Leviton NEMA 14-50 outlet installations is undersized branch circuit wiring or excessive voltage drop over long distances. This can lead to contact oxidation, insulation damage, and eventual outlet meltdown. As such, we recommend verifying the wire gauge and ensuring strong contact pressure between plug blades and outlet terminals.
If you’re installing a Level 2 EV charger with a Leviton 1450W outdoor NEMA 14-50 outlet, upgrading to a weatherproof in-use outlet cover is a smart move. This affordable, practical accessory shields your outlet from rain, dust, and other environmental hazards, helping maintain safe, reliable charging and extending the life of your investment. From our experience, adding this cover is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to protect your outdoor charging setup.
