A bulk wallbox order should include more than the chargers. Plan spare units, extra RFID cards, mounting brackets or pedestals, cable holsters, and the documents installers need, so a project never stalls for a small part. For the EV-ACT3204E, decide early between tethered Type 2 cable and socket versions, and agree spares and lead times with EVDANCE before production starts.
Key Takeaways
- Order spares, cards, brackets and documents with the chargers.
- Decide tethered vs socket and market version early.
- Agree lead times and inspection in writing.
- Track serial numbers by site from day one.
The Bulk Order Checklist
| Item | Typical planning approach | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Chargers by version | Split by tethered cable vs socket | Different sites prefer different versions |
| Spare chargers | A small percentage of the order | Quick swaps for damaged or faulty units |
| RFID cards | Several per charger, plus spares | New users and lost cards |
| Brackets and pedestals | Per mounting location | Not every bay has a wall |
| Holsters and cable hooks | One per tethered unit | Protects connectors |
| Documents | Manuals, conformity declarations, test reports | Installers and inspectors need them |
| Labels | Site IDs or asset tags | Maintenance and OCPP records |
The right quantities depend on your project. Share site plans with the supplier so they can suggest a sensible spares ratio.
Version Decisions to Make Early
- Tethered or socket: tethered suits private fleets; socket suits public or mixed vehicles where drivers bring their own cable. Read tethered vs socketed wallboxes.
- Branding: standard or private label, which affects packaging and lead time.
- Back-office: app only, or OCPP platform. Configure before shipping if possible.
- Market version: confirm the protective functions and markings needed in each destination country.
Lead Times and Inspection
Agree production lead time, inspection and shipping method in writing. A pre-shipment inspection checks quantities, labels, packaging and a sample of functional tests. Our guides on pre-shipment inspection and MOQ explained help with planning, and the spare parts and RMA process covers after-sales.
Delivery and Storage on Site
Large orders often arrive before sites are ready. Store cartons dry and off the floor, keep chargers in their packaging until installation, and record serial numbers against sites as units go out. This saves time on warranty claims later. A simple spreadsheet listing serial number, site, bay, installation date and installer is enough for most projects, and it becomes the starting point for maintenance records and OCPP asset IDs once the chargers are live.
