CurrentCore Sourcing keeps the charger brief and the factory reply on one sheet
We are an independent sourcing partner for US business buyers who need factory quotations for charging equipment. The desk collects specifications, asks factories for comparable offers, and marks documents that are still missing. It is not a manufacturer or authorized distributor.
What the desk will do
- Restate your application, output type, rated power, connector, quantity, and US destination in factory language.
- Search original manufacturers willing to quote that written scope.
- Place returns side by side and highlight exclusions, freight, and document gaps.
- Pass sample, inspection, or test requests through only when you ask for them.
What stays outside this desk
Electrical design, utility interconnection, accessibility review, and the decision to energize a circuit belong to the parties qualified for that site. A factory datasheet does not become our certificate. A low hardware number can be the right award when cables, freight, documents, and exclusions already match. A higher number can be the clearer purchase when those items were omitted. We show both readings and do not pick a winner for you.
We do not publish a founding year, a headcount, a factory count, or a client roster, because those figures are not evidence for your charger. We also do not promise a reply clock, inventory, or a completed listing.
If a supplier claims ISO 9001, request a current quality-system certificate identifying the organization, certified scope, issuer, and validity. It does not certify the charger model. For a product safety listing, request the applicable record for the exact proposed model and verify the issuer's record. We coordinate those requests; neither document becomes a CurrentCore Sourcing credential.
Budget notes are optional. Tell us the currency and whether the number is per unit or for the whole order. High-end, mid-range, economy, or undecided describes the tradeoff you want among finish, customization, and service. It is not a score of the factory.
Hypothetical review example, not a client project: a buyer requests 24 Level 2 EVSE ports, NACS connectors, and a 7 m cable for a covered deck. The requested site voltage is 240 V and the minimum ambient temperature is -10 °C; the proposed model's continuous current and rated kW remain open. If one quotation omits the cable while another includes it, ask both suppliers to restate the same scope. Keep the comparison open until model drawings, OCPP version or non-networked status, and delivered charges are resolved. The result is a comparable worksheet, not a demonstrated saving or approved installation.
How a return is read
- Specification
- Same kW, voltage, connector, and mount on each column.
- Quantity
- Same count and the same rule for dual points.
- Delivered scope
- Freight, duties, cables, and named exclusions.
- Supplier documents
- Drawing and datasheet locked to the model in that column.
The working sheet lives on the quote workflow. Site questions for higher power sit with DC contexts. Stall-level fields sit with Level 2 fields.
Bring the requirement, not a finished design
Send what you know and mark what is open. We will ask factories to fill the open cells or to say they cannot. You can also start from the inquiry labels or the procurement brief.
