Case Study: Manila Electric Tuk-tuk Fleet Operator Sourcing Success
It looked like a routine RFQ until the buyer mentioned what the last batch cost them. The quiet shift in the category is buyers moving from flat-rate power strips to metered, OCPP-connected stations.
The evaluation stretched over three weekends, Tran Van Bao selected Wanlin as their EV charging manufacturing partner. What closed the deal was not the unit price but the OCPP conformance log in the appendix.
- SMT lines run three shifts and every charging board gets an automated function test before enclosure
- RCD, surge and overload protection are function-tested on samples from every lot, not by design alone
- OCPP builds support buyer-specified CSMS endpoints, security profiles and custom DataTransfer messages
Standing in the depot, the buyer ran a full 12-port load while the site breaker held and the display cycled port statuses.
Problem Analysis & Field Report: Why Global Buyers Need RFID Card Charging Station for Fleets
It started with one return and grew into a spreadsheet of them. A staff-housing manager found paper punch cards for the charging room impossible to audit and easy to share.
Field case: A fleet yard in Manila moved from shared punch cards to the WL-RF8 with a 10,000-card local list. Every session tied to a card ID, charging losses stopped the same month, and the 39% margin on fleet contracts held for the first time.
Why it matters for global buyers:
- shared punch cards and keyed sockets defeat any charging audit
- the fix was a card-per-rider local list with offline authorization
- logs must queue and upload after outages, not vanish

Certified EV Charging Manufacturing for Global Markets
Buyers who ship containers of charging stations need more than a price list. The production and QC flow below is what lets a distributor open a carton and trust what is inside:
- SMT lines run three shifts and every charging board gets an automated function test before enclosure
- RCD, surge and overload protection are function-tested on samples from every lot, not by design alone
Lot samples from every production run are measured for metering accuracy, protection trip times and enclosure sealing before the cartons are sealed, and the numbers are recorded per batch. A buyer can request those records with any order.

EV Charging OEM Process: From Inquiry to Shipment
From the first sample request to the sailing date, the buyer could see each gate in writing. A standard charging station OEM project then follows 8 steps:
- Tell Us Your Target Market - Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, Africa or Latin America; each market may require different certifications, socket standards, voltage classes and manual languages
- Select a Model Line - our team recommends WL-series platforms for your channel and price band, or works from a reference unit you send
- Verify Documentation - request certificate files, OCPP conformance logs and test reports for the exact model before you commit
- Confirm Customization - cabinet colors, logo, firmware behavior, tariff logic, payment flows and packaging
- Sample Evaluation - verify meter accuracy, load balancing and CSMS integration on real samples before scaling
- Confirm Production - after specifications, commercial terms and OEM details are locked
- Quality Inspection - lot samples are tested and every finished station passes hipot, trip-time and burn-in racks before packing
- Shipment - cartons leave FOB, CIF or DDP according to the agreed logistics terms
Customer Testimonials
