A North American starter range from EVDANCE is built by role, not by catalogue order: a NACS wallbox and two NACS portables for the home core, a J1772 portable so older cars are not turned away, two adapter families for drivers caught between connector standards, and a dual-connector AC station as the first site step-up. Seven roles cover home, travel and mixed-connector demand without stocking everything.
Key Takeaways
- Build the shelf by role: NACS home core, J1772 coverage, two adapter families, one site step-up.
- The two NACS portables differ in ceiling and step pattern — that is why both earn shelf space.
- DC adapters carry a disclosure duty: staff never certify a customer’s car as approved.
- Print only the marks each model’s own documents carry; request files for the rest.
The Home Core: NACS First, J1772 Covered
| Role | Model | Stated facts |
|---|---|---|
| Installed wallbox | EV-ACT5006T | Up to 48 A, hardwired or NEMA 14-50P, NACS, 25 ft cable, IP65/IP66 |
| Adjustable portable | EV-ACS4005T | 9.6 kW, NEMA 14-50P, 16/24/32/40 A adjustable, 25 or 28 ft cable, IP66 |
| Step portable | EV-ACS3210T | About 7.7 kW, NEMA 14-50P, 10–32 A in six steps, IP66 |
| J1772 portable | EV-AC04001U | 40 A J1772, fixed 9.6 kW, NEMA 14-50P, 25 ft cable, IP66 |
The two NACS portables are not duplicates. The ACS4005T is the higher-ceiling unit with four current steps; the ACS3210T trades ceiling for finer steps at lower currents, which suits homes whose circuits cannot give a portable the full 40 A. The J1772 portable is fixed-rate on purpose: its buyer’s car sets the session, and there is nothing to configure.
The Adapter Shelf
The JT02 covers the AC cross: a J1772 car at a NACS AC charger, up to 80 A, AC only. The JT08 and JT09 cover the DC cross: a CCS1 car at a NACS DC station, including Superchargers open to that car, up to 500 A. Stocking the DC pair carries a duty: counter staff never tell a customer their car is approved. Approval belongs to the vehicle maker, and the station must be open to the car — both conditions belong on your own shelf guidance card, so a conditions question is never answered as if it were a defect or a promise.
The Step-Up: Sites
The EV-AC03201T is the first site model: a floor-standing dual-connector AC station, two Type 2 connectors sharing up to 43 kW, OCPP 1.6J and RFID, at IP54. It is a project sale — it needs your installer relationships and a customer with bays — so it joins the range when the home core is moving, not before. Note its connectors are Type 2 as listed; confirm the configuration your site buyers need before quoting it into a project.
Certification Honesty, Model by Model
| Model | Marks its listing states | Distributor action |
|---|---|---|
| EV-ACT5006T | ETL / FCC / CE | File the certificates with the listing |
| EV-ACS4005T | CE / FCC (per its product description) | File the certificates; no ETL mark is stated |
| EV-AC04001U | SAE J1772 and IP66 only | Print nothing beyond what is stated |
| EV-ACS3210T, JT02, JT08, JT09, EV-AC03201T | No certification marks named | Request the documents before making any claim |
The distributor program is where those document requests go. EVDANCE is a Shenzhen manufacturer founded in 2011, exports to more than 30 countries and backs the range with a 3-year standard warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why stock two NACS portables?
They serve different homes. One offers a 40 A ceiling with four steps; the other offers six finer steps up to 32 A for circuits and cars that live lower. Stocking both lets the customer match the portable to their panel instead of forcing one answer.
Can I sell the DC adapters online?
Yes, with the conditions printed where the buyer reads them: maker approval for their exact car, and a station open to that car. A listing that skips those two lines creates returns and, worse, a driver stranded at a station their car cannot use.
What should I request from EVDANCE before listing a model?
The certificate files and test documents for that exact model and configuration, plus the warranty and spare-parts terms. The table above shows which models’ listings name marks and which need the request first.
