Sheet metal fabrication is used for EV component boxes and EV charge point housings because it offers an easily customizable method to make secure, robust enclosures for all types of EV and EV related equipment. Demand for sheet metal fabrication of EV equipment enclosures and charger housings is growing with the increase in global demand for electric vehicles. Taiwa offers full service ODM and OEM sheet metal fabrication solutions that make it easy to manufacture EV component enclosures and charge point housings.
What is the EV market demand for sheet metal fabrication?
Demand for EVs is increasing steadily, and rising demand for EVs increases the demand for sheet metal fabrication of EV related products. It’s not just the electric vehicle that’s made of sheet metal, you also need public EV charging stations and domestic EV charging control boxes. These require robust, high precision sheet metal manufacturing, which is also necessary for vehicle components including batteries and on-board electrical and electronic equipment.
- Increasing demand for EVs increased demand for related products
- A major bottleneck in EV adoption is lack of charging infrastructure and charging points
- Sheet metal fabrication offers robust, high precision, secure enclosures for high voltage charging cabinets
Growth in EV adoption has led to many countries and regions already reaching the stage where 20-30% of domestic purchases are electric vehicles. This has created high demand for infrastructure that includes charging stations and domestic recharging points. This creates an opportunity for companies that wish to manufacture EV related products.
What are the challenges of manufacturing EV charging stations?
EV charging stations present several manufacturing challenges. Outdoor stations need to be weatherproof, but also have adequate ventilation for cooling. Public and domestic charging stations must also be completely secure against accidental opening and not allow access to high voltage internal components. Successful manufacture of these complex sheet metal designs requires the services of a highly competent and experienced sheet metal fabricator.
- Adequate ventilation and cooling to prevent overheating while charging
- Weatherproof against wind and rain from any direction
- Secure maintenance ports and cabinet design to prevent accidental access to high voltage components
Sheet metal fabricators need to have a high level of technical expertise and skills to successfully manufacture EV charging stations and EV component enclosures. This is because these are potentially very hazardous types of equipment due to the high voltages and high power required to charge electric vehicles. Any enclosure design has to both allow for easy access and maintenance and also make it impossible for members of the public to access the internal, high voltage, components.
