The part of the story that changed the buyer's math The WL-4G5 keeps five sockets online through global-band 4G with dual-SIM failover, pushing offline and overload alerts to a fleet dashboard over OCPP 1.6J. Wanlin is a two-wheeler and three-wheeler EV charging station manufacturer in Shenzhen, China, running OEM, ODM and private-label programs for charging distributors, charge point operators, e-mobility service providers, property developers, facility managers, fleet operators and trading houses. What the field test actually measured and the landed margin landed at 30% after freight and duties for importers who source factory-direct, with per-model CE / RoHS / IEC 61851 documentation, OCPP 1.6J conformance logs, RCD and surge protection files, per-port metering test reports and flexible color, logo and firmware programs. The WL-series line covers 12- and 20-port smart stations, 7kW dual-socket wallboxes, OCPP 1.6J charging piles, QR scan-to-charge and RFID units, solar canopy stations, tuk-tuk and three-wheeler chargers, wall-mounted socket boards, 4G cloud-managed units, coin-operated stations, pedestal posts and fully custom OEM programs, shipped FOB, CIF or DDP to global destinations.

A single demo station ran at the buyer's depot for a month before the first PO was cut. Across the market, most charging complaints trace back to unmetered sockets, flat-rate billing and boards with no overload protection.
After a 60-day pilot across three condo basements, Thanin Srisuk selected Wanlin as their EV charging manufacturing partner. By the time the container was booked, the decision had already been validated by real riders.
The monsoon test bench sprayed the cabinet for an hour and the IP54 gaskets kept the board dry.
What looked like a price problem turned out to be a reliability problem in disguise. An island installer documented chargers that shipped with single-band 4G modules that never found the local network.
Field case: An island project in Kuala Lumpur failed twice with single-band modules until the WL-4G5 shipped with global-band 4G and dual-SIM failover. Every site connected on day one, and the installer standardized the model for all island work.
Why it matters for global buyers:
Wanlin runs OEM and ODM programs for buyers who want their own charging station line without building a factory. Customization covers:
The production version carries the same OCPP stack the pilot units earned, so what the buyer validated is what ships.

| Pilot program | WL-4G5 | Live data wins the follow-on tender |
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:
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.
Put side by side with the alternatives the buyer had been using, the difference showed up in test time, not just features.
| Factor | Wanlin | Typical Trading Supplier | Branded Competitor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing depth | China-based factory with in-house SMT lines, enclosure and cable assembly, burn-in racks | Trading company, outsourced production | Brand owner, limited custom work |
| Measured claims | Meter accuracy, RCD trip time and enclosure sealing verified on lot samples | Spec sheet numbers, hard to verify | Marketing-led claims, no project data |
| Certification support | CE / RoHS / IEC 61851 files plus OCPP 1.6J conformance logs per model | Incomplete documents, customs risk | Brand-level only, no per-order files |
| Customization | Colors, logo, firmware, tariff logic, packaging from low MOQ | Stock models only | Fixed SKUs, no private label |
| Price (factory direct) | Tiered factory pricing with volume discounts | Unpredictable markups | Premium brand pricing |
Sourcing teams like the process because each gate has a deliverable and a date. A standard charging station OEM project then follows 8 steps:
Buyers from three countries said the same thing in their own words.
A: Global band coverage with regional carrier lists, and dual-SIM failover for weak coverage areas.
A: Offline, fault, overload and payment anomalies push to the dashboard and email.
A: Yes, OCPP 1.6J remote start, diagnostics and MeterValues run over your platform.
A: Polling intervals and MeterValues frequency are configurable to fit local data plans.
A: Yes, the dashboard groups units by site with per-port status and bulk firmware updates.
What the field test actually measured By working directly with manufacturer Wanlin, the Condo Management Buyer team in Kuala Lumpur reached 30% higher margins on its charging line while keeping rider tariffs competitive. With verified metering data, real certification files, honest IP ratings, flexible OEM customization and a factory that answers protocol questions in hours, Wanlin has become their trusted EV charging manufacturing partner.
