Start where your channel already sells. For a consumer brand, that means one portable charger and one wallbox in your market’s connector — the pair your customers can buy today. Add site hardware when you have installer or operator relationships to sell it through, and treat adapters as range extenders that come with disclosure homework. EVDANCE offers private label from 100 units, so the sequence can start small.
Key Takeaways
- Sequence by channel: home pair first, site hardware when installer relationships exist, adapters with their disclosure duty.
- Launch one configuration per market; two models are a range.
- Certification documents are per model — never print a mark the model’s own paperwork does not carry.
- DC adapters under your brand must print both approval conditions in your own materials.
Step 1: The Home Pair Your Market Uses
A first range has two jobs: a portable that needs no installation, and a wallbox for customers ready to install. Launch one configuration per market, not every variant at once.
| Market | Portable first | Wallbox first | Why this pair |
|---|---|---|---|
| North America (NACS) | EV-ACS4005T (9.6 kW, adjustable 16–40 A) or EV-ACS3210T (about 7.7 kW, six steps) | EV-ACT5006T (up to 48 A, hardwired or NEMA 14-50P) | Both follow the NEMA 14-50 pattern homes already have; the wallbox is the step up |
| Europe (Type 2) | EV-ACS3210E (about 7 kW single-phase, app, energy monitoring) | EV-ACT3204PE (22 kW three-phase, RFID and app) | Portable for homes without three-phase; the wallbox covers sites that have it |
Step 2: Site Hardware, When the Relationships Exist
Commercial models sell as projects, not parcels. The EV-AC03201T dual-connector AC station and the EV-RHDC30K-L compact DC charger belong in the range once you have installers who can survey sites and operators who can run them — platform conversations, groundworks and service expectations come with this tier. Launching them earlier leaves a new brand holding stock it cannot yet place. Settle one detail in writing here: the DC unit’s listing does not name its connector standard, so confirm the variant for your market before it enters your catalogue.
Step 3: Adapters as Range Extenders — With Homework
Adapters extend a range cheaply in shelf space, but the two families differ. The JT02 is the simple case: a NACS-to-J1772 AC adapter for drivers whose cars meet NACS AC points. The JT08 and JT09 are DC adapters, and they carry two conditions your brand’s own product pages and manuals must print: the vehicle maker must approve third-party DC adapter use for that car, and the station must be open to that car. A brand that sells the adapter inherits the duty to say so — marketing copy that promises an adapter “works with every CCS car” is the failure mode, because approval is the car maker’s decision, not the adapter’s.
Verify Before You Print Anything
Certification is per model, never range-wide: hold the documents for every mark you intend to print, for that exact model.
| Model | What its listing states | Before you print |
|---|---|---|
| EV-ACT5006T | ETL / FCC / CE | File the certificates for your configuration |
| EV-ACS4005T | CE / FCC (per its product description) | File the certificates; no ETL mark is stated |
| EV-AC04001U | SAE J1772 and IP66 only | Do not print marks the listing does not state |
| EV-ACS3210T | No certification marks named | Request the documents before making any claim |
| EV-ACT3204E | CE (RoHS also stated in its description) | File the certificates for your configuration |

Working With EVDANCE
EVDANCE is a Shenzhen manufacturer founded in 2011, exports to more than 30 countries, private label from 100 units and a 3-year standard warranty. The sequence above maps onto the OEM and private-label program: home pair first, site hardware when your channel can place it, adapters with their conditions printed. Start with the product range.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many models should a new brand launch with?
Two: one portable and one wallbox, in one market’s connector and one configuration each. That is enough to learn your returns, reviews and support load before the range grows.
Can I private-label the adapters as well?
They are part of the range, but the DC adapters carry the approval conditions described above. Your packaging and manual must state them in your brand’s own words — that wording is part of the launch work, not an afterthought.
Do I need my own certification to start?
Not always: cosmetic branding on a model whose documents already cover your market is the usual lean start. Ask for the files before you print anything, and take local advice where your market requires the brand or importer to be named.
