Selling EVs is more than selling cars — without charging infrastructure, the car is "buyable but unusable". Charging conditions vary widely overseas; exporters who deliver chargers and storage solutions together solve customer pain points and open a second growth curve.
1. Main Charging Standards
| Standard | Markets | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GB/T | China | National standard; check destination compatibility |
| CCS2 | Europe, Middle East, much of Africa | De facto mainstream |
| CCS1 | North America | Different connector from CCS2 |
| CHAdeMO | Some Japanese models | Declining share |
| Russia | Russia | Local standards coexist — adaptation needed |
2. Bundling Ideas
- Home use: 7kW AC wallbox with install guide — a low-cost, high-perceived-value promo or add-on.
- Fleets: 60-120kW DC fast charging plus solar-storage-charging packages raise fleet uptime.
- Off-grid: In weak-grid regions (Central Asia, Africa), PV + storage + chargers is a differentiator.
3. Implementation Notes
- Certification first: Chargers need destination safety marks (CE, EAC, UL); run this in parallel with vehicle approval.
- Grid specs: Confirm local voltage and frequency (e.g. 380V/50Hz) and match charger specs.
- Service network: Charger downtime hurts more than car downtime — agree on spares and remote maintenance with partners.
Shunwei Auto tip: Add a "charging package" option to quotations — even if the buyer skips it, you look far more professional than car-only competitors. Trust built cheap.
Note: Chargers shipped by sea follow electrical-goods rules; secure and moisture-proof them when consolidating with cars, and include installation manuals in the local language.
