Key takeaways
- 1China’s EV charger makers fall into three types: network builders that also make hardware (StarCharge, TELD), power-electronics groups that make chargers and the power modules inside them (Sinexcel, Infypower, Injet), and export-focused charger brands (Autel Energy, EN Plus, Joint Tech, BENY / EVB, VULTAE).
- 2The right supplier depends on who you are: a charge point operator, a distributor building its own brand, and a fleet buying 20 depot chargers need different things from a factory.
- 3Certificates belong to a model, not to a company. Check the ENERGY STAR product finder, the certifier’s online directory or the certificate number for the exact model you are quoted.
- 4Disclosure: VULTAE publishes this list and is on it. Facts about other companies come from their own websites and public filings as of October 2026; we describe every company with the same criteria.

China builds most of the world’s EV chargers, and for a buyer outside China the problem is not finding a factory — it is telling dozens of similar-looking catalogues apart. This guide groups ten Chinese manufacturers by what kind of company they are, then matches each type to the buyers it serves best.
Disclosure. This guide is written by VULTAE, an EV charger manufacturer in Qingdao, and we are on the list. We describe every company with the same criteria. Facts about other manufacturers come from their own websites, stock-exchange information and published press material as of October 2026; company figures are as each company states them. If you spot an error, tell us and we will correct it.
How we chose these ten
We included Chinese companies that:
- Design and manufacture EV chargers themselves, rather than only trading them
- Sell outside China and publish technical information in English
- Offer both AC and DC chargers, or are a key maker of DC charging hardware
The list is grouped, not ranked. A national ranking would put the largest domestic network operators first, but a distributor in Chile, an operator in Germany and a fleet in Malaysia need very different things from a supplier.

Type 1: Network builders that also make chargers
These companies grew up building and operating charging networks in China, then started selling the hardware abroad. Their strength is scale and field data from very large installed bases.
StarCharge
StarCharge — legally Wanbang Digital Energy — was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Changzhou, Jiangsu. It makes AC and DC chargers, charging cables, power modules and energy storage, and runs one of China’s largest charging networks. It set up regional headquarters in Singapore and Europe in 2020, and in 2024 restructured its European joint venture with Schneider Electric.
Strengths: scale, a broad product range from wallboxes to high-power DC, an established European organisation. Check: which models are certified for your market, and whether your order size gets direct engineering support or goes through a partner.
TELD
TELD New Energy was founded in 2014 in Qingdao and is the EV charging arm of TGOOD (the first company listed on Shenzhen’s ChiNext board, code 300001). TELD is best known in China as a charging network operator with a very large share of charging volume, and it builds the DC charging systems and platform behind that network. It began its overseas push in 2020.
Strengths: deep experience with high-utilisation DC and depot charging; listed parent group. Check: the export product range and local service arrangements outside its main markets.
Type 2: Power-electronics groups
These companies make the power conversion hardware that sits inside DC chargers. Several sell complete chargers too; others mainly sell modules to charger makers.
Sinexcel
Shenzhen Sinexcel Electric was founded in 2007 and listed on Shenzhen’s ChiNext board in 2017 (code 300693). Its business spans power quality, energy storage, EV charging and battery testing. It began developing EV charger power modules in 2010 and has manufacturing bases in Huizhou and Suzhou with branches in the United States, Germany and Australia.
Strengths: power-module know-how, DC charging systems, a storage business for sites that combine both. Check: which product line serves your segment — Sinexcel’s centre of gravity is DC and storage rather than residential wallboxes.
Infypower
Shenzhen Infypower, established in 2014, focuses on EV charging power modules, charging system controllers and related power electronics, including bidirectional modules. Besides Shenzhen it lists domestic headquarters in Nanjing and Chongqing and an overseas headquarters in Munich. Many DC chargers sold under other brands are built around modules from makers like Infypower.
Strengths: module specialisation, a common choice for integrators building their own DC chargers. Check: if you need finished chargers rather than modules, ask which partners build complete units on its platform.
Injet New Energy
Injet New Energy was established in 2016 as the EV charging subsidiary of Sichuan Injet Electric, an industrial power-supply maker founded in 1996 in Deyang and listed on ChiNext in 2020 (code 300820). It offers AC wallboxes, DC chargers and high-power systems.
Strengths: an industrial power-electronics parent and a full AC-to-DC range. Check: lead times and support in your region; confirm the certificates of the exact models offered.
Type 3: Export-focused charger brands
These companies were built to sell abroad. They usually offer the most flexibility on OEM, private label and market-specific versions, and the most direct contact with engineers.
Autel Energy
Autel Energy is the charging business of Autel Intelligent Technology, a Shenzhen company founded in 2004 and listed on the Shanghai STAR Market (code 688208) and best known for vehicle diagnostic tools. Its MaxiCharger range covers AC and DC. In 2023 it announced production of 180–240 kW DC fast chargers at a plant in Greensboro, North Carolina, and its MaxiCharger DC Fast and DC Compact models have earned ENERGY STAR certification.
Strengths: North American certification and a US production site; a recognised brand among installers. Check: OEM / private-label flexibility, which is narrower for a brand-led company.
EN Plus
EN+ (Shenzhen EN Plus Technologies) was founded in 2015 in Shenzhen and has offices in the UK and other parts of Europe, North America and the Middle East. It covers home, commercial and fast-charging equipment plus management software, and states CE, UKCA and UL certifications for its range.
Strengths: strong presence in UK and European distribution. Check: the certification and metering requirements of your market (for example MID or Eichrecht in Europe) model by model.
Joint Tech
Joint Tech was founded in 2015 in Xiamen, Fujian. It offers European and North American AC and DC ranges, lists ETL, ENERGY STAR, CE, TÜV and UKCA certifications, OCPP 2.0.1 and ISO 15118 support, and mentions partner production facilities in the USA, Malaysia and Vietnam.
Strengths: North American distribution and private label. Check: which production site makes your order, and whether certificates follow the product when it is made at a partner facility.
BENY / EVB
EVB is the EV charging brand of Zhejiang Benyi New Energy, founded in 2011 in Yueqing, Wenzhou, a centre of China’s low-voltage electrical industry. Its range runs from 3.5 kW AC chargers to high-power DC systems, alongside solar and storage products, and it publishes a large library of articles and videos in many languages.
Strengths: a very wide range and strong online presence; solar-linked charging products. Check: the exact certificate behind each model; ask for test reports rather than relying on certification logos.
VULTAE
VULTAE was founded in 2015 and builds AC and DC chargers in a factory of about 50,000 m² in Qingdao with around 500 employees and its own R&D team. The range covers AC wallboxes from 3.7 to 22 kW (and 32–48 A North American versions), dual-port commercial AC chargers, DC chargers from 20 kW wallboxes to 360 kW dual-connector fast chargers, portable and mobile chargers, with OCPP 1.6J / 2.0.1 throughout. OEM and private label — housing, logo, screen, app and packaging in the buyer’s brand — are a core part of the business, not an add-on.

Strengths: OEM flexibility; IEC and North American versions of the main series; engineers who answer technical questions directly; spec tables for every model published on this website. Check: as with every supplier on this list — ask us for the certificate and test report of the exact model you are quoted, and test a sample with your back end.
Which type fits which buyer
| You are… | Look first at | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A charge point operator building a public DC network | Network builders, power-electronics groups, export brands with high-power DC | Field-proven DC hardware, uptime data, power-module supply |
| A distributor or installer building your own brand | Export brands with OEM / private label | Flexibility on branding, packaging, app and firmware |
| A fleet or depot owner | Network builders and export brands with 60–180 kW DC | Depot experience, load management, service contracts |
| A charger maker or integrator | Power-module specialists | Modules, controllers and technical support |
| A North American buyer | Makers listing UL / ETL and ENERGY STAR for specific models | Certification must exist for the exact model — and check US tariffs and Buy America rules for funded projects |
How to verify any manufacturer on this list
A list is a starting point. Before you sign, check these five things for the exact model you are quoted:
- Certificates by model number. Search the ENERGY STAR product finder for North American models; look up ETL or UL listings in the certifier’s directory; ask for the CE, UKCA or TÜV certificate and the test report behind it.
- OCPP compatibility. Ask for a test log or certification with your charge point management system, not just “OCPP 1.6J supported”.
- Power modules and key parts. Who makes the modules, contactors and connectors, and what is their warranty?
- Operating limits. Upper temperature at full output, IP and IK rating, altitude limit.
- Support. Spare-parts list and prices, response time, and whether the factory will train your technicians.

Our guide to verifying a Chinese EV charger factory explains how to run a remote audit, and how to compare quotations line by line shows the items that make two similar prices very different.
Questions buyers ask
- Who are the biggest EV charger manufacturers in China?
- By installed base in China, the largest names are charging-network companies that also make their own hardware, such as StarCharge (Wanbang Digital Energy) and TELD. By listed size, power-electronics groups such as Sinexcel and Autel are also major makers. Size in the Chinese home market says little about export support, so check each supplier’s overseas references and certificates.
- Are Chinese EV chargers good quality?
- Quality varies by manufacturer and by model. Look at the power module brand and its warranty, the enclosure rating (IP and IK), the operating temperature range at full output, the metering accuracy and the OCPP version tested with your back end. Ask for third-party test reports for the exact model.
- Do Chinese EV chargers have UL, ETL or ENERGY STAR certification?
- Some models do. Several Chinese makers list specific North American models with ETL or UL safety certification and ENERGY STAR. Check the exact model number on the ENERGY STAR product finder and in the certifier’s directory rather than relying on a logo on a brochure.
- Which Chinese manufacturers offer OEM or private-label chargers?
- Most export-focused brands offer OEM or private label, including Joint Tech, EN Plus, BENY / EVB and VULTAE. Ask what can be changed (housing colour, logo, screen, app, packaging), whether the certificates can be issued in your brand name, and who owns the firmware.
- How do I check a Chinese EV charger supplier before paying?
- Verify the business licence and export history, run a video audit of the production and test area, check certificates by model number, ask for an OCPP test log with your CPMS, test a sample, and tie payments to inspection before shipment.
