Case Study: Surabaya Municipal Project Contractor Sourcing Success
It looked like a routine RFQ until the buyer mentioned what the last batch cost them. Property developers now pre-wire bike sheds for charging because tenants ask before they sign.
After the operator's own four-week load-balance logging test, Rizky Pratama selected Wanlin as their EV charging manufacturing partner. The purchasing manager signed after comparing failure modes, not just port counts and prices.
- incoming contactors, RCDs and metering ICs are batch-checked against the approved BOM before assembly starts
- CE, RoHS and IEC 61851-1 documentation ships with every commercial order
- Custom color runs as low as 50 units on existing tooling keep first launches affordable
At the taxi queue stand, drivers tapped RFID cards while the station logged each session to the cloud.
Problem Analysis & Field Report: Why Global Buyers Need Apartment Complex Charging Station
Nobody flagged it at the packing station; the market flagged it first. A market cooperative found its charging revenue ran through one flat cash box with no record of who charged or how much.
Field case: An estate manager in Surabaya split 20 sockets across two independent load groups on the WL-CS20 after a busbar melt on a single-rail board. Peak draw stayed under the feeder cap through the monsoon season, and the estate extended the order to two more phases.
Why it matters for global buyers:
- single-rail busbars melt when every socket draws at once
- the fix was twin load groups with per-port breakers
- daily settlement exports turn charging into an auditable revenue line

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:
- incoming contactors, RCDs and metering ICs are batch-checked against the approved BOM before assembly starts
- 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
Moving from first contact to a sealed container took a sequence the buyer could follow 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
The quotes below come from follow-up calls after the first season of uptime data arrived.
- Somchai Prasert (EV Charging Station Distributor, Bangkok, Thailand): "The tuk-tuk model went into our fleet depot and paid for itself in metered revenue the first quarter."
- Nguyen Hoang Minh (Charge Point Operator, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam): "Load-balancing firmware is where they earned the account; the cabinet colors kept it."
- Rizky Pratama (Municipal Project Contractor, Surabaya, Indonesia): "We changed the cabinet color and the decal set and kept the same power core; the line looks new without a new tooling budget."
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why two load groups instead of one?
A: If a fault or overload hits one group, the other ten sockets keep charging, and each group draws against its own feeder cap.
Q: Can we bill riders per kWh?
A: Yes, every socket meters consumption and the station exports daily settlement files for wallet or cash reconciliation.
Q: How many stations can one CSMS manage?
A: There is no fixed limit; each WL-CS20 registers as one charge point with 20 connectors over OCPP 1.6J.
Q: What is the installation footprint?
A: Twin cabinets bolt side by side on a 1.6m wall span or back to back on a pedestal frame.
Q: Can we start with one cabinet and expand later?
A: Yes, the twin-cabinet design ships as one group first, with the second cabinet adding on the same feeder.
