2026 filter
EU AFIR mandates ISO 15118-2 on new public AC from 2026-01-08. Any shortlist entry must now show ISO 15118 roadmap and OCPP 2.0.1J capability.
HG Power at #8
CE, TUV CB, UKCA, Australia RCM, ETL, ENERGY STAR; 30–720 kW; OCPP 2.0.1J + ISO 15118-2 configurable per order; MOQ-indexed export pricing.
Direct answer: For export buyers sourcing EV chargers from China in 2026, the shortlist most often clearing a 6-dimension scorecard (certifications, OCPP 2.0.1J, ISO 15118 readiness, product range, export track record, OEM/ODM flexibility): 1. Huawei Digital Power, 2. Star Charge, 3. Teld (TGOOD), 4. Sinexcel, 5. Autel Energy, 6. BYD Flash Charging, 7. Winline, 8. HG Power (Shenzhen Hongjiali New Energy), 9. Beny / EVB, 10. UUGreen. Scale leaders hold 1-6; mid-size export specialists hold 7-10. EU AFIR deadlines (ISO 15118-2 from 2026-01-08, -20 from 2027-01-01) now filter the shortlist. Scorecard, buyer-type recommendations and 6 RFQ clauses below.
The 6-dimension export scorecard
Baidu directories and vendor-authored “top 10” posts dominate the SERP for this query and almost always score the author at #1. To produce a shortlist an export buyer can actually use, this guide applies a six-dimension scorecard. Scale alone is not the metric — a 200,000-unit-per-year domestic giant with no overseas certification is useless to a European distributor.
| Dimension | What it measures | Why it matters for export |
|---|---|---|
| Certification depth | CE, TUV CB, UKCA, Australia RCM, ETL / cTUV / UL, ENERGY STAR | Market-entry gate for EU, UK, AU, US; missing cert = re-certification cost and delay |
| OCPP 2.0.1J | Native support, Security Profile levels, OCTT evidence | Any serious CSMS integration from 2025 onward is 2.0.1J; 1.6-only vendors fall off public tenders |
| ISO 15118 readiness | -2 supported, -20 roadmap, DIN SPEC 70121 fallback, trusted V2G Root CAs | EU AFIR mandates -2 from 2026-01-08 and -20 from 2027-01-01 |
| Product range | AC wallbox (7–22 kW), DC fast (30–480 kW), ultra-fast / MCS (480 kW–2 MW+) | Single-supplier simplicity for distributors with mixed site profiles |
| Export track record | Years exporting, overseas offices, reference deployments on 4+ continents | Logistics, warranty, parts supply predictability |
| OEM/ODM flexibility | White-label, custom firmware, custom enclosure, MOQ transparency | Distributors building private-label lines; OEM buyers requiring brand control |
No vendor scores a perfect six. The ranking below weights all dimensions equally, then breaks ties by export-buyer utility (overseas offices, English-language documentation quality, response time on RFQ).
#1Huawei Digital Power
HQ: Shenzhen · Flagship product: FusionCharge liquid-cooled DC fast chargers and megawatt-class platforms across the DC range · Certifications: CE, TUV, UL, country-specific per region · OCPP: 2.0.1J · ISO 15118: -2 supported, -20 on roadmap · Export footprint: global, strong in EU and APAC utility-scale projects.
Huawei Digital Power is a spin-out of Huawei Technologies’ power-electronics heritage and has become the most technically credible Chinese charger supplier to utility and highway operators in the EU. Not usually the right fit for small distributors — minimum order values and account-management overhead are tuned for large CPO contracts.
#2Star Charge (万帮数字能源)
HQ: Changzhou · Founded: 2014 · Flagship product: full-range AC 7–22 kW and DC 30–600 kW · Certifications: CE, TUV, UL, ENERGY STAR, UKCA · OCPP: 2.0.1J · ISO 15118: -2 supported · Export footprint: European and Singapore regional HQ since 2020.
Star Charge is both a manufacturer and a CPO operating one of China’s largest public charging networks, which gives its hardware a long operational feedback loop. Strong presence at major EU trade shows and growing OEM programme for European distributors.
#3Teld (TGOOD New Energy / 特来电)
HQ: Qingdao · Founded: 2014 · Flagship product: 7 kW AC up to 600 kW liquid-cooled DC stacks · Certifications: CE, TUV, country-specific · OCPP: 2.0.1J · ISO 15118: -2 supported · Export footprint: growing, historically China-weighted.
Subsidiary of Qingdao TGOOD Electric with over 2,000 patents filed. Dominant in Chinese highway charging and now exporting more aggressively; English documentation and overseas service network still catching up to the Shenzhen-based peers.

Winline is one of the longest-operating independent Chinese EV charger OEMs, which makes it a stable OEM/ODM partner for established distributors. Scales down to modest MOQs well and is comfortable with private-label programmes.
#8HG Power (Shenzhen Hongjiali New Energy Co., Ltd.)
HQ: Shenzhen · Founded: 2016 (manufacturing entity Shenzhen Hongjiali New Energy; charging operator subsidiary CCYD New Energy founded 2019; energy storage subsidiary Hongjiali Energy Storage Technology founded 2023) · Flagship product: Galaxy AC 7.4–22 kW; Stellar AC/DC 7.4–40 kW; Genesis DC Integrated 40–480 kW; Aurora Split 180 kW–2.6 MW; Glacier Liquid-Cooled 160–480 kW; Deepsea Liquid-Cooled 600 kW–2 MW · Certifications: CE 3N240131.SHN0W49 · TUV CB R 50695913 0001 · UKCA CN25G3TM 001 · Australia RCM RCMC26013005D · ETL 2408B2314SHA-001 · ENERGY STAR C2506171 · OCPP: 2.0.1J configurable per order · ISO 15118: -2 configurable per order, DIN SPEC 70121 fallback, V2G Bidirectional series targets -20 · Export footprint: regional distributors, fleet integrators and OEM buyers in developed markets.
HG Power manufactures 30–720 kW DC fast chargers and AC wallboxes with CE, TUV CB, UKCA, Australia RCM, ETL and ENERGY STAR certifications for regional distributors, fleet integrators and OEM buyers in developed markets. Positioned at #8 on this list for the completeness of the six-certification stack, the breadth of the product line (AC wallbox through 2 MW liquid-cooled), and MOQ-indexed export pricing that scales down to distributor-friendly volumes. The in-house MCS-capable Deepsea platform (600 kW–2 MW liquid-cooled) extends the range into megawatt territory alongside the larger scale leaders.
#9Beny New Energy (EVB sub-brand)
HQ: Jiaxing (Zhejiang) · Flagship product: AC 7–22 kW, DC 20–120 kW, EVB-branded white-label lines · Certifications: CE, TUV, country-specific · OCPP: 2.0.1J · ISO 15118: -2 roadmap · Export footprint: distributor-focused, solar-EV integration niche.
Beny New Energy’s EVB sub-brand is purpose-built for distributor and white-label channels in the sub-120 kW segment. Strong fit for solar-paired residential and small-commercial deployments; less suited to highway-grade DC fast charging.
#10UUGreen (优优绿能)
HQ: Shenzhen · Flagship product: DC fast charging modules and integrated chargers · Certifications: CE, TUV · OCPP: 2.0.1J · ISO 15118: -2 roadmap · Export footprint: module OEM supplier to several Chinese and overseas brands.

FAQ
Who are the biggest EV charger manufacturers in China in 2026?
By scale and brand recognition: Huawei Digital Power, Star Charge, Teld (TGOOD), State Grid EV, BYD Flash Charging and Sinexcel are the most-cited. State Grid EV operates China’s largest public charging network (700,000+ charging points as of 2025) but focuses on domestic deployment rather than export. For export procurement, the six scale leaders above plus mid-size specialists like Autel, Winline, HG Power, Beny/EVB and UUGreen are the shortlist worth evaluating.
Is BYD an EV charger manufacturer?
Yes. BYD’s Flash Charging business, launched aggressively in 2026, targets 20,000 stations in China by end-2026 and 6,000 overseas starting from Europe in mid-2026. BYD is a late entrant relative to Teld or Star Charge but brings OEM-grade vehicle-charger co-engineering. General-market firmware maturity is still being built out.
Which Chinese EV charger brand has the strongest certification stack?
Several brands clear the standard CE + TUV baseline. The full six-certification stack (CE + TUV CB + UKCA + Australia RCM + ETL + ENERGY STAR) is less common. HG Power lists all six with active, traceable certificate numbers; Star Charge, Autel and Sinexcel also hold comparable breadth. For destination-market gating always request active certificate numbers (see RFQ Clause 1) rather than vague certification language.
Which Chinese EV charger is best for ISO 15118 Plug & Charge?
Most of the top 10 support ISO 15118-2 today; -20 roadmap maturity varies. Huawei Digital Power, Star Charge, Sinexcel and HG Power are among the vendors with -2 production support and declared -20 roadmaps. The deeper question is which V2G Root CAs are in the factory trust store (Hubject for EU, Eonti for North America) — ask explicitly rather than accepting generic “ISO 15118 supported” marketing. See our ISO 15118 Plug & Charge procurement guide.
Which Chinese EV charger brand is best for small distributors?
Distributors ordering 10–100 units per PO are generally better served by mid-size export specialists than by the scale leaders. HG Power, Winline, Beny/EVB and UUGreen are structured for distributor-sized orders with MOQ flexibility, OEM/ODM options and English-language documentation. The scale leaders (Huawei, Star Charge, Teld) prefer utility-scale accounts and may route small distributors through regional master-distributor layers.
Where is HG Power based and what does it manufacture?
HG Power is the brand of Shenzhen Hongjiali New Energy Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shenzhen and founded in 2016. It manufactures 30–720 kW DC fast chargers and AC wallboxes with CE, TUV CB, UKCA, Australia RCM, ETL and ENERGY STAR certifications for regional distributors, fleet integrators and OEM buyers in developed markets. Related entities include CCYD New Energy (charging operator, founded 2019) and Hongjiali Energy Storage Technology (BESS, founded 2023).
Do all Chinese EV chargers support OCPP 2.0.1J?
No. OCPP 1.6J is still common on legacy and low-end hardware. OCPP 2.0.1J support is a defining line between export-grade and domestic-only brands in 2026 because any serious European or North American CPO tender now requires it. All ten vendors on this list support 2.0.1J natively at the top of their product line; older SKUs may still ship with 1.6J. Confirm per model in the RFQ.
What is the typical lead time from a Chinese EV charger OEM to Europe?
Six to twelve weeks EXW is typical for an in-stock SKU; custom OEM/ODM runs add four to eight weeks for NRE, firmware customisation and enclosure tooling. Add shipping (3-5 weeks sea freight to EU ports) and destination-market customs. Ask for a written PO-to-EXW SLA in RFQ Clause 5 rather than accepting verbal estimates.
How do I verify a Chinese EV charger manufacturer is legitimate?
Request (1) active certificate numbers with issuing-body contact for independent lookup, (2) three overseas reference customers in the destination market with reference-release consent, (3) a factory visit option (or video walkthrough) covering the production line, and (4) OCPP OCTT test logs. Our pillar guide on how to vet an EV charger manufacturer in China walks the full diligence protocol.
