Case Study: Medan Electric Scooter Fleet Operator Sourcing Success
The inquiry arrived on a Tuesday; by Friday a sample was on a plane. Property developers now pre-wire bike sheds for charging because tenants ask before they sign.
After a 60-day pilot across three condo basements, Sonesack Phommachanh 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.
- Every finished station is hipot-tested, RCD trip-time verified and powered through a full-port burn-in before packing
- CE, RoHS and IEC 61851-1 documentation ships with every commercial order
- a private label run can start from 50 units on existing tooling with new packaging
At the condo gate, a rider scanned the QR, watched the socket lock, and plugged in without touching an attendant.
Problem Analysis & Field Report: Why Global Buyers Need Smart Charging Pile with OCPP Gateway
The failure was intermittent, which made it expensive to ignore. A utility pilot rejected a charging brand because heartbeat timeouts made 30% of its piles appear offline in the control room.
Field case: A charge point operator in Medan ran a two-week integration bake-off between three pile brands. Two brands failed WebSocket reconnection and heartbeat tests; the WL-OP16 held a 30-day session with zero drops and passed core, smart-charging and local-list profiles against the operator CSMS, and the 34% margin survived the first year of network fees.
Why it matters for global buyers:
- OCPP claims without conformance logs stall utility tenders
- the fix was full profile coverage tested against a reference CSMS
- heartbeat and reconnection behavior decides control-room trust

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:
- Every finished station is hipot-tested, RCD trip-time verified and powered through a full-port burn-in before packing
- CE, RoHS and IEC 61851-1 documentation ships with every commercial order
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
The workflow below is the same one every Wanlin OEM order follows, from sample to dock. 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
