Explore our automotive-grade charging systems engineered for Charge Point Operators (CPOs), commercial fleet electrification, and public ultra-fast hubs worldwide.
The global shift toward zero-emission transportation necessitates a rigorous understanding of charging levels, duty cycles, and power grid interactions. As a premier original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Suzhou HizonSun Tech Co., Ltd. provides clear technical demarcation across all classifications.
In modern electrical mobility infrastructure, EV charging equipment is categorized by alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) topologies, voltage thresholds, and dynamic power delivery. OEMs and system integrators must distinguish between destination trickle charging and megawatt-scale fleet replenishment to optimize capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational longevity (OpEx).
| Classification | Nominal Voltage & Current | Power Rating Range | Common Grid Topology | Target Installation Venues | Primary Connectors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 AC | 120V AC, 12A – 16A (1-Phase) | 1.4 kW – 1.9 kW | Standard Domestic Outlets | Emergency residential use, plug-in hybrids (PHEV) | Type 1 (SAE J1772), Schuko, NEMA 5-15 |
| Level 2 AC | 208V–240V (1-Ph) / 400V (3-Ph), up to 63A | 3.5 kW – 22 kW (Up to 44kW dual) | Single/Three-Phase Commercial Grid | Workplaces, multi-family residences, retail parking, hotels | Type 2 (IEC 62196-2), Type 1, GB/T AC |

Engineering Insight for Global CPOs: As passenger vehicle architectures migrate rapidly from 400V to 800V silicon-carbide (SiC) native battery packs, choosing Level 3 DC fast chargers with an ultrawide constant power voltage range (200V–1000V DC) is essential to eliminate charging current bottlenecks and prevent premature hardware obsolescence.
Level 2 AC charging represents the foundation of overnight and workplace dwell-time power replenishment. Working alongside the electric vehicle's On-Board Charger (OBC), HizonSun's EV-ONE wallboxes and pedestal units support 7kW to 22kW charging with integrated Type B RCDs, over/under-voltage protection, and ISO 15118 ready communication.
Engineered for turn-around efficiency in commercial charging centers, integrated DC chargers convert medium-voltage three-phase AC directly into pure DC power. Utilizing hot-swappable 30kW and 40kW high-efficiency power modules, our octagonal and advertising-screen cabinets deliver 60kW to 360kW to dual vehicles simultaneously.
For municipal bus corridors, heavy logistics hubs, and highway plazas, centralized split-type charging stacks decouple the power conversion matrix from individual dispensing terminals. Central power units of 360kW to 720kW dynamically route DC current to 8, 10, or 12 charging pedestals in granular 20kW or 30kW increments.
Operating a modernized 10,000 square-meter production facility in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, HizonSun integrates high-precision SMT placement, robotic welding, comprehensive environmental burn-in aging, and full-load grid simulation testing.
Our complete portfolio satisfies ISO9001, CE-EMC, CE-LVD, CB, CQC, and UL technical benchmarks, expediting local grid interconnection approvals across European, American, and Asian jurisdictions.
Tailored industrial design, corporate sheet-metal stamping, silk-screen pantone matching, custom UI/UX firmware loading, and POS cashless terminal hardware integration.
Self-developed high-power rectification modules, CAN-bus control logic, and multi-channel monitoring boards guarantee zero dependency on external third-party proprietary software.
Every charging pile undergoes 100% full-load thermal burn-in stress tests, insulation fault simulation, surge immunity tests (6kV/10kV), and IP54/IP55 water resistance validation before crating.
The convergence of renewable generation, high-density electrochemical storage, and mega-watt electric mobility is redefining the electric vehicle charging landscape into an intelligent grid asset.
Transitioning from legacy Silicon IGBTs to Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET power topologies unlocks switching frequencies above 100 kHz. This reduces module physical volume by 40%, minimizes acoustic fan noise, and elevates overall DC conversion efficiency beyond 97.2%, sharply cutting the operator's parasitic cooling electricity bills.
Incorporating bidirectional active front-end (AFE) converters conforming to ISO 15118-20 empowers electric fleets to serve as distributed Virtual Power Plants (VPP). Electric buses and logistics vehicles discharge stored energy into regional utilities during peak tariff spikes, creating supplementary monetization mechanisms.
Where grid connections are weak or high-capacity transformer upgrades incur prohibitive lead times, HizonSun's 100kWh and 200kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) energy storage integrated charging piles deliver up to 240kW DC boost charging by shaving peak grid spikes and harnessing localized solar photovoltaic inputs.

Comprehensive engineering clarifications addressing grid integration, protocol compliance, hardware MTBF, and international certifications for institutional purchasers and charge point operators.
Level 2 AC chargers supply alternating current (typically 208V–240V in single-phase or 400V in three-phase) to the vehicle's onboard charger (OBC), which rectifies AC to DC to replenish the battery pack. Because vehicle OBCs are constrained by size and weight (commonly 7kW to 22kW), replenishment takes 3 to 8 hours. Conversely, Level 3 DC fast chargers bypass the vehicle OBC entirely, converting 400V/480V three-phase grid AC directly to high-voltage DC (200V–1000V) within the charging station cabinet. This enables direct, high-current delivery (up to 500A) into the battery, reducing 10%–80% charging durations to 15–30 minutes.
Our charging control units (CCUs) incorporate native Linux-based embedded controllers programmed with standards-compliant Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) stacks. We support both JSON-over-WebSockets (OCPP-J 1.6) and OCPP 2.0.1 with mutual TLS (Security Profile 3) encryption. Stations are routinely tested with leading independent cloud software suites (such as Driivz, AMPECO, ChargeLab, and Greenlots) to guarantee seamless user authentication, automated billing, remote smart charging profile dispatch, and Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updating.
HizonSun operates under strict ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO45001 quality, environmental, and occupational safety systems. For Europe and international markets, our equipment holds CE-LVD (EN IEC 61851-1, EN IEC 61851-23), CE-EMC (EN IEC 61851-21-2), and CB test certificates. For the North American market, our selected AC and DC designs meet UL 2202, UL 2594, and CSA C22.2 benchmarks. Domestically, all units carry full CQC verification and meet GB/T 18487 and GB/T 27930 safety codes.
All-in-one DC charging piles integrate power rectification modules and the dispenser gun cables within a single footprint, which is cost-effective and straightforward for sites needing 2 to 4 charging parking spots. Split-type DC architectures place a large centralized rectifier cabinet (360kW to 720kW) remotely (e.g., in a utility room or behind sound barriers) and feed multiple compact charging satellites (dispensers) in the parking bays. The central unit dynamically matrixes power across bays based on individual EV state-of-charge (SoC), maximizing overall asset utilization, minimizing site transformer upgrades, and reducing visual clutter and acoustic noise at the charging stalls.
Grid interconnection queues and utility capital investment requirements for megawatt-level grid drops can stall EV fast-charging projects by 12 to 24 months. HizonSun's energy storage integrated charging pile incorporates high-safety lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells with a bidirectional power conversion system (PCS). The internal battery charges slowly from low-power grid connections (e.g., 30kW–50kW) or local solar PV arrays during idle or off-peak periods, and then unleashes up to 160kW–240kW DC fast charging output when a vehicle plugs in, bypassing severe utility infrastructure bottlenecks.
Our OEM/ODM scope includes comprehensive hardware, firmware, and aesthetic tailoring: custom sheet-metal fabrication, anti-UV powder coatings in specific client RAL colors, backlit 3D branding logos, custom cable lengths (5m to 10m), multiple gun head combinations (CCS2, CCS1, GB/T, NACS), integration of third-party payment card POS systems (Nayax, Ingenico, Payter), localized firmware languages, customized LCD user flow animations, and pre-configured cloud endpoint routing.
HizonSun DC charging piles feature independent hot-and-cold air duct isolation combined with intelligent variable-speed brushless DC cooling fans. The system delivers 100% nominal output up to +50°C ambient temperature without thermal derating. Internal components are treated with conformal coating against airborne salt fog and humidity, and optional air-to-air heat exchangers or fully sealed liquid-cooled power cabinets can be selected for harsh environments such as desert corridors or tropical ports.
Designed to strict automotive industrial reliability standards, HizonSun charging stations achieve a system MTBF of > 100,000 hours, with individual high-power rectification modules rated at > 300,000 hours MTBF. Modular N+1 or N+2 hot-swappable redundancy ensures that even in the unlikely event of an individual power module tripping, the station continues operating at slightly reduced power while automatically transmitting a fault diagnostic alert via OCPP to the operator's central dispatch center.
