It was my fault that I didn't see that an installation kit Leviton EVK05-M is needed. The charger unit itself does NOT come with a mounting plate/bracket. You would need to get the installation kit to get the mounting plate. And you CANNOT purchase the mounting plate/bracket by itself. The kit comes with a receptacle, receptacle/electrical box, a receptacle cover, and a mounting plate/bracket to mount the charger. Even if you only need the mounting plate/bracket, you'd need to buy the entire kit. This installation kit is needed for the surface mount model, but not for the flush mount model. Other than this surprise and annoyance, the charger works great with my 2013 Nissan Leaf S. The 25' cable is just long enough to reach my car in the driveway, as the charger is mounted inside my garage, which is used for storage. I contacted Leviton about the "missing" mounting plate/bracket and customer service was prompt and courteous.
UPDATE: I returned the first unit ordered from Amazon.com because I mistakenly thought it should have come with a mounting plate. The first unit worked great. I then ordered a second unit as a replacement while waiting for the first unit to be returned. After the first unit was picked up by UPS, the second unit arrived. Unfortunately, the second unit flashes a fault and does not charge my car. Now I have to return the second unit. I should have kept the first unit and cancelled the order of the second unit to save me all the troubles, which started by me misreading the description of the unit, WHICH DOES NOT COME WITH A MOUNTING PLATE/BRACKET. I hope you will learn from my mistakes.
UPDATE: Leviton's customer service is super. Leviton offered to send a replacement unit when I contact the company about the faulty unit. However, it was quicker and easier to return the defective unit (which was 'used') and get a brand new unit from Amazon. The brand new unit works flawlessly.
2ND UPDATE: I spoke too soon! The brand new unit worked fine for about 3 weeks then its red LCD "fault" light came on. Leviton paid for shipping of the unit and fixed the problem and returned it back to me in about 7 days. It's a great thing that Leviton stands by their product. I'm a bit surprised that I experienced two bad units in a row, however.
