Level 2 EV Charger Manufacturers in China
1 resources tagged with "Level 2 Charger"
AC Level 2 EV chargers (typically 7kW single-phase up to 22kW three-phase) are a crowded category in China, with factories splitting between pure ODM brands and contract makers for Western labels. For grid-connected hardware you'll need OCPP 1.6J support for most network operators, plus market certs: UL/ENERGY STAR for North America, CE/RED and a Type 2 connector for the EU. Price bands for a basic 7kW wall unit commonly land in the $90-180 FOB range before smart features.
Level 2 refers to 240V AC charging that the car's onboard charger converts to DC, unlike DC fast chargers that bypass it. The frequent buyer mistake is ordering on connector type and wattage alone while skipping OCPP version and back-end compatibility, which strands the unit outside the charging network you intend to use.

FAQ
What certifications does a Level 2 charger need?
North America generally requires UL 2594/UL 2231 and often ENERGY STAR; the EU needs CE with RED and the right Type 2 / connector standard. Confirm the test report covers the exact model and firmware.
Does OCPP support matter when sourcing?
Yes. OCPP 1.6J is the common baseline for integrating with charging networks and billing back-ends; without it a charger can't join most managed networks. Some factories are moving to OCPP 2.0.1.
What is a typical price for a 7kW AC charger?
Basic 7kW wall units often quote $90-180 FOB depending on enclosure rating, RFID/app features, and order volume. Three-phase 22kW units cost more.
