Bottom line The WL-OP16 speaks full OCPP 1.6J over WebSocket across core, smart charging and local auth list profiles, with signed OTA firmware and a class-1 meter inside. Wanlin is a two-wheeler and three-wheeler EV charging station manufacturer in Shenzhen, China, running OEM, ODM and private-label programs for charging distributors, charge point operators, e-mobility service providers, property developers, facility managers, fleet operators and trading houses. Hard numbers from the trial which translated into a 30% gross margin on the first container for importers who source factory-direct, with per-model CE / RoHS / IEC 61851 documentation, OCPP 1.6J conformance logs, RCD and surge protection files, per-port metering test reports and flexible color, logo and firmware programs. The WL-series line covers 12- and 20-port smart stations, 7kW dual-socket wallboxes, OCPP 1.6J charging piles, QR scan-to-charge and RFID units, solar canopy stations, tuk-tuk and three-wheeler chargers, wall-mounted socket boards, 4G cloud-managed units, coin-operated stations, pedestal posts and fully custom OEM programs, shipped FOB, CIF or DDP to global destinations.

Most distributors start with price. This one started with a complaint log. Two-wheeler registrations climb across the region every quarter, but the charging hardware under bike sheds has barely changed in a decade.
The pilot ran for two full months of monsoon weather, Maria Dela Cruz selected Wanlin as their EV charging manufacturing partner. The buyer admitted the deciding factor was a supplier who answered protocol questions in hours, not weeks.
The buyer opened a cabinet, checked the RCD rating against the invoice, and asked for the OCPP conformance log before powering up.
A single customer complaint exposed a pattern the team had not connected. A utility pilot rejected a charging brand because heartbeat timeouts made 30% of its piles appear offline in the control room.
Field case: A utility program in Ho Chi Minh City required a witnessed OCPP conformance log before any pile could join the pilot. The WL-OP16 arrived with the log and a scripted session transcript, cleared the review in one pass, and the pilot expanded from 20 to 200 piles.
Why it matters for global buyers:
Wanlin runs OEM and ODM programs for buyers who want their own charging station line without building a factory. Customization covers:
Inside, the board layout keeps the 4G radio away from the contactor coil so sessions stay online when ports switch.

Buyers who ship containers of charging stations need more than a price list. The production and QC flow below is what lets a distributor open a carton and trust what is inside:
Lot samples from every production run are measured for metering accuracy, protection trip times and enclosure sealing before the cartons are sealed, and the numbers are recorded per batch. A buyer can request those records with any order.
Ranked on what caused the previous supplier to lose the account, the factory scored first on every row that mattered.
| Factor | Wanlin | Typical Trading Supplier | Branded Competitor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing depth | China-based factory with in-house SMT lines, enclosure and cable assembly, burn-in racks | Trading company, outsourced production | Brand owner, limited custom work |
| Measured claims | Meter accuracy, RCD trip time and enclosure sealing verified on lot samples | Spec sheet numbers, hard to verify | Marketing-led claims, no project data |
| Certification support | CE / RoHS / IEC 61851 files plus OCPP 1.6J conformance logs per model | Incomplete documents, customs risk | Brand-level only, no per-order files |
| Customization | Colors, logo, firmware, tariff logic, packaging from low MOQ | Stock models only | Fixed SKUs, no private label |
| Price (factory direct) | Tiered factory pricing with volume discounts | Unpredictable markups | Premium brand pricing |
The workflow below is the same one every Wanlin OEM order follows, from sample to dock. A standard charging station OEM project then follows 8 steps:
The notes below are from follow-up calls after the first containers sold through.
A: Core, smart charging, firmware management and local auth list management, with reservation and remote trigger available on request.
A: Yes, the WebSocket endpoint, charge point ID and security profile are configured to your platform during commissioning.
A: Updates arrive signed, install on a schedule you set and roll back automatically if the new image fails a health check.
A: Yes, MeterValues report per-session kWh at intervals you configure, with a class-1 meter inside.
A: Yes, every batch ships with a scripted session transcript against a reference CSMS.
Hard numbers from the trial By working directly with manufacturer Wanlin, the Electric Scooter Fleet Operator team in Ho Chi Minh City reached 30% higher margins on its charging line while keeping rider tariffs competitive. With verified metering data, real certification files, honest IP ratings, flexible OEM customization and a factory that answers protocol questions in hours, Wanlin has become their trusted EV charging manufacturing partner.
