A European starter range from EVDANCE is organised by supply and socket: a single-phase Type 2 portable for homes without three-phase power, a pair of CEE portables split by socket size for workshops and sites, a 22 kW three-phase wallbox as the installed anchor, and two site step-ups — a dual-connector AC station and a compact DC unit. Every model is Type 2 on the car side; what changes is how it meets the building.
Key Takeaways
- Organise the European shelf by supply and socket: single-phase portable, CEE pair, 22 kW wallbox, site step-ups.
- The CEE pair is stocked by socket size — the plugs do not interchange.
- “OCPP-ready” is not OCPP 1.6J; print only what each model’s documents support.
- The UK is a separate confirmation, never a claim carried over from a European listing.
Home Charging: Single-Phase and Three-Phase
The EV-ACS3210E is the single-phase entry: a Type 2 portable of about 7 kW, adjustable in steps from 10 to 32 A, with a 7.5 m cable, app control with energy monitoring, and an OCPP-ready listing — that wording matters, and it is not a claim of OCPP 1.6J. The installed anchor is the EV-ACT3204PE, a 22 kW three-phase wallbox with a tethered Type 2 cable, RFID and app, listed at IP66 with CE. Remember the car-side truth when you sell either: a session is limited by the car’s onboard charger, so the wallbox’s ceiling is a ceiling, not a promise for every car.
The CEE Portable Pair: Stock by Socket
| Socket the site already has | Model | Stated facts |
|---|---|---|
| CEE 16 A five-pin | ACS1605PE | 11 kW three-phase portable, 16 A, Type 2, 7.6 m cable, IP66 |
| CEE 32 A five-pin | EV-ACS3205PE | 22 kW three-phase portable, 32 A, Type 2, IP66 |
The pair is stocked by the socket, not by preference: the plugs do not interchange, so a 16 A unit cannot be sold against a 32 A socket or the reverse. Workshops, farms, depots and event sites that already have red CEE sockets are the natural buyers — the charger arrives as equipment, not as an installation project. Our guide to CEE plugs, 16 A versus 32 A, explains the socket side in full.
Site Step-Ups
The EV-AC03201T dual-connector AC station — two Type 2 connectors sharing up to 43 kW, OCPP 1.6J, RFID, IP54 — is the shared-site model for car parks and workplaces. The EV-RHDC30K-L is the DC step: a compact floor-standing unit listed at 22 kW DC, with OCPP 1.6J and IP54. Its listing does not name the DC connector standard, so the connector variant for your market’s cars is a written confirmation to obtain before the model goes into your catalogue.
Certification Honesty — and the UK
Print only what each model’s own documents carry. The ACT3204E’s listing states CE, with RoHS also stated in its description. The CEE portables and the ACS3210E name no certification marks in their listings as audited — so for those models, the certificate files are a documents request to EVDANCE before any mark, including CE, appears in your catalogue copy. The distributor program is where those requests belong.
The UK needs a separate sentence. UK fixed installations carry their own requirements — PEN fault protection and the Smart Charge Points Regulations among them — and the product pages do not claim them. Confirm the UK position for any model in writing before listing it for UK fixed installation; no model in this range should be presented as UK-ready on the strength of a European listing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should the wallbox or the portables lead the range?
The portables, for most starters: they sell as equipment into sockets and supplies that already exist. The wallbox follows with your installer relationships, and it is the model your commercial customers will ask about first.
Is the EV-ACS3210E an OCPP charger?
Its listing says OCPP-ready, with app control and energy monitoring. That is not the same claim as the OCPP 1.6J listed for the station models — ask for the documents and print only what they support.
Can I sell this same range into the UK?
Not on the European paperwork alone. The UK items named above are not claimed on the product pages, so the UK position for each model is a written confirmation before listing — treat the UK as a separate approval conversation, not a shipping destination.
