When your brand goes on the EV-ACT5006T, the outside changes — logo, colours, packaging. The certified electrical product underneath does not. Its 48 A output, NACS connector, sealed enclosure and ETL/FCC/CE listings belong to the exact unit that was tested, and they stay fixed for every private-label order.
Key Takeaways
- Branding changes the surface: logo, colours, packaging and manuals.
- The certified core — 48 A output, NACS connector, IP65/IP66 enclosure, listings and label data — stays fixed.
- Changing electrical parts or the housing creates an unlisted product until it is evaluated again.
- Settle certificate paperwork and approve a golden sample before the first production run.
The Layer That Changes: Your Brand
Private label is a surface layer. Brands put their logo and colours on the housing and cable, and carry the identity through the retail box, the manual and the rating-label layout. The full menu — decoration methods, cable printing, screen artwork and packaging — is covered in our guides to logo and branding options and packaging, labeling and manuals, so this article covers the other half of the question: what branding does not touch.
What Stays Fixed, and Why
| Fixed item | Why it cannot change with branding |
|---|---|
| Output: up to 48 A, 11.5–12 kW | The rating is part of the tested, listed configuration. A different output is a different product. |
| NACS connector and 7.6 m cable | The connector and cable assembly are part of the certified design and its temperature testing. |
| IP65/IP66 enclosure | The weather rating comes from the tested housing and seals. New mouldings or openings void the basis of the rating. |
| ETL, FCC and CE listings | Listings attach to the exact model and configuration evaluated. They do not transfer to a modified unit. |
| Rating label data | Voltage, current, model and maker details on the label must match the certificate — see rating labels and required markings. |
| Installation versions | Hardwired or NEMA 14-50P are the model’s two listed versions. A third wiring arrangement is not covered. |
Why “Just a Small Change” Is Not Small
Buyers sometimes ask for a different internal component, a higher output or a reshaped housing as part of a branding order. Each of those moves the unit away from the configuration the test lab evaluated. The result is not a branded version of a listed charger; it is an unlisted product until it is evaluated again, with the cost and delay that involves. This is also why the paperwork matters: who owns the certificate in a private-label program, and whether the documents cover your brand name, should be settled before the first order, not after the first shipment.
Planning Around the Fixed Core
- Choose your depth honestly. Logo-and-packaging private label keeps the certified product intact. Deeper changes are OEM or ODM work — how the two routes differ — with new tooling and evaluation.
- Approve a golden sample. The approved branded sample is the reference for what stays and what changes; keep photos of it in the project file.
- Check the certificate against the model. Ask for the certificate and test report for the EV-ACT5006T in the exact version you are ordering, and confirm the brand paperwork before production.
- Lock the configuration per run. Mixed versions in one run create labelling and listing risks; order hardwired and plug-in versions as separate, clearly specified runs.
The Product Under Your Brand
The EV-ACT5006T is a 48 A NACS Level 2 wall charger (11.5–12 kW, 7.6 m cable, IP65/IP66, ETL/FCC/CE) with a 3-year standard warranty, offered for private label from 100 units. Brand programs run through the OEM and private-label page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we raise the output above 48 A for our brand?
No. The 48 A rating is part of the listed configuration. A higher output would be a different product requiring its own evaluation.
Does our brand name appear on the certification?
The listing covers the model and configuration; how the brand name is handled in the paperwork must be agreed with the factory before ordering. Our certificate-ownership guide explains the arrangements.
Can we redesign the housing later?
Yes, but that is an OEM project, not a branding change: new tooling, new samples and a fresh evaluation of the changed enclosure.
