Case Study: Colombo Utility Partnership Buyer Sourcing Success
Hannah Whitlock, an Utility Partnership Buyer based in Colombo, was sourcing two-wheeler charging equipment for a network that had grown faster than its charging points. The distributor had lost two container deals because the factory could not provide OCPP conformance statements before the payment deadline.
Following a three-week sample window, Hannah Whitlock selected Wanlin Fire as their EV charging equipment manufacturing partner. A factory video walkthrough of the SMT line and aging racks removed the last hesitation about volume capacity.
- Export experience: the factory ships charging equipment to Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East
- Payment compliance: QR, RFID, NFC, coin and App payment modules are selected to match local payment habits and regulations
- Payment customization: QR code with local payment gateway, RFID cards, coin acceptor or App billing configured for the target market
Samples with the buyer logo were approved in 18 days, and mass production used the same components as the approved units.
Problem Analysis & Field Report: Why Global Buyers Need IP65 Waterproof Outdoor Socket Station
Most charging problems in growing cities are not about the vehicle, they are about the socket: wrong voltage, no protection, no payment record and no maintenance plan. An open-air market in Colombo lost 41% of its charging sockets to rain damage in one monsoon season, and riders blamed the network for dead batteries.
Field case: A market operator in Colombo replaced failed units with IP65 socket stations with sealed cable entries; the replacement rate dropped to near zero through the next wet season.
Why it matters for global buyers:
- IP65 sealing stops the rain-ingress failures that plague outdoor sockets in tropical markets
- Sealed cable entries and corrosion-resistant bodies survive salt air near the coast
- IK08 / IK10 impact ratings resist knocks from carts, vehicles and vandalism
- Outdoor-rated units carry the enclosure documentation inspectors ask for

EV Charger OEM Process: From Inquiry to Shipment
The EV charger OEM process starts with a short qualification call about vehicle types, voltage, site conditions and the payment methods used in your market. A standard OEM project then follows 8 steps:
- Tell Us Your Target Market - Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, Latin America, Middle East or Europe; different markets may require different voltage, certification and payment configurations
- Select a Model Line - our team recommends suitable WL-series models according to your vehicle types (48V / 60V / 72V), site conditions and target customers
- Verify Documentation - for certified models, request and verify the relevant certificate, OCPP conformance and enclosure rating documentation files
- Confirm OEM Requirements - color, logo, payment modules, voltage, socket count, packaging and accessories
- Sample Evaluation - samples can be evaluated before mass production according to the agreed commercial terms
- Confirm Production - after specifications, commercial terms and OEM details are confirmed, the project can proceed to production
- Quality Inspection - chargers are inspected and tested with load-bank and aging procedures according to applicable production and quality-control standards
- Shipment - products are prepared for shipment FOB, CIF or DDP according to the agreed logistics requirements
Customer Testimonials
Operators who standardized on one OCPP-compatible line report shorter vendor lists and fewer site visits:
- Andre Silva (EV Charger Distributor, Sao Paulo, Brazil): "Riders scan the QR code and pay with the wallet they already use; we stopped explaining how to charge."
- Priya Nair (E-Rickshaw Fleet Owner, Mumbai, India): "The load test report matched what we measured on site, and that has not happened with the previous two suppliers."
- Hannah Whitlock (Utility Partnership Buyer, Colombo, Sri Lanka): "The OCPP conformance statement arrived with the samples, which is what our customs broker asked for on the last shipment."
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the IP65 rating mean in practice for the WL-WP?
A: Water jets from any direction cannot reach the live parts, so the station keeps operating through heavy rain and pressure washing nearby - one step beyond the IP54 common on street cabinets.
Q: Can the WL-WP be washed with a hose?
A: Low-pressure hose cleaning is fine on the sealed body. High-pressure jets aimed at the locks and seams should still be avoided.
Q: How does the WL-WP handle salt-air corrosion?
A: The cabinet is galvanized steel with marine-grade powder coating, and boards receive conformal coating for coastal projects.
Q: Are the outlets themselves waterproof when plugged in?
A: Each socket sits under a spring-loaded cover that seals around the plug body during charging, so rain does not pool in the socket mouth.
Q: What surge protection does the WL-WP include?
A: Each outlet line carries its own surge and leakage module, which matters on street circuits where grid quality varies through the day.
