Custom EVSE cabinets for AC Level 2 and DC fast chargers. NEMA 3R/4/4X and IP54/65 enclosures in carbon steel, 304/316 stainless, and aluminum — with IK10 impact resistance, thermal-management interfaces, anti-vandal locking and coating options, all built to released OEM drawings.
From compact wall-mount AC units to large DC fast-charge pedestals — we fabricate the full range of EVSE enclosures to your charger model, power level, and deployment.
Wall-Mount AC Compact enclosures for AC Level 2 chargers in garages, depots, and walls — with secure mounting brackets and weatherproof sealing for indoor or outdoor use.
Pedestal Free-standing pedestal enclosures for public and fleet AC charging — single or dual port, with cable management and a stable, anchored base.
DC Fast Large floor-standing cabinets for high-power DC fast charging, with the engineered thermal management high-amperage power electronics demand (cabinet air can reach 60–70 °C).
Feeder / Kiosk Power distribution feeder cabinets for charging sites, and integrated kiosk enclosures with display windows and payment terminals for all-in-one stations.
An EV charger enclosure faces rain, dust, heat, cold, impact, and tampering — while protecting expensive electronics for years. Here's what we manufacture to.
| Enclosure Ratings | NEMA 3R / 4 / 4X; IP54 / IP65 (up to IP66 on request) |
|---|---|
| Mechanical Standards | UL 50E / NEMA-compatible construction (continuous seam welds, gasket channels) |
| Impact Resistance | IK10 (IK08 for ventilation louvers) — anti-vandal |
| Materials | Carbon steel, 304 / 316 stainless steel, aluminum |
| Thermal Management | CNC-punched louvers with weather baffles, fans, heat exchangers |
| Finish | Buyer-defined outdoor finish; any UV or salt-spray method, duration and evidence are RFQ-defined |
| Security | Anti-vandal locking, tamper-resistant hardware, lockable doors |
| Features | Display windows, gland plates, cable management, ground connections, PU foam seals |
| Temperature Range | Designed for harsh outdoor ranges (e.g. −30 °C to +50 °C) |
| Certification Support | Built to support UL 2594 (AC) / UL 2202 (DC) EVSE listing* |
*UL certification documentation is available on request for applicable products and components. Confirm the model, listing scope and any required enclosure rating for the project. We fabricate customer-released mechanical features; the EVSE OEM and accredited test body own the finished-unit test and Listing.
Our integrated process delivers EVSE enclosures that hold their rating, manage heat, resist vandals, and survive years outdoors.
Precision cutting of body, door, and panel blanks, plus cable entries, display windows, and louver patterns to your charger layout.
CNC press-brake forming of the cabinet body and door to precise dimensions and clean, consistent corners.
Continuous seam welds and precise gasket channels — the construction that holds NEMA 3R/4X and survives independent lab testing.
Louvers with weather baffles, fan/heat-exchanger mounts, gland plates, locks, hinges, and ground studs installed to your spec.
Pretreatment, powder specification, UV requirement and any salt-spray method or duration are buyer-defined. Evidence must come from the responsible processor or test party when included in the RFQ.
Gasket and hardware assembly, IP leak test, dimensional check, and cosmetic inspection before export packaging.
Where the charger lives drives the material choice. Here's how the options compare for EVSE enclosures.
The cost-effective standard for most deployments — strong, economical, and well-protected by marine-grade outdoor powder coat.
For corrosive and coastal sites — 316 for salt/chloride exposure (highways, coastal), 304 for general corrosion resistance. NEMA 4X capable.
Lightweight with natural corrosion resistance — useful where weight matters (wall-mount) or for a cleaner thermal profile.

An EV charger cabinet isn't just a shell — it's a dynamic thermal environment protecting high-value electronics from weather, heat, and vandals, often on a public street for a decade. Four things make or break it.
High-amperage charging generates immense heat — DC cabinet air can hit 60–70 °C. Trap that heat and the electronics throttle, degrade, and fail. Engineered louvers and airflow keep the hardware alive.
The hard part: keep rain and dust out (NEMA 3R/4X) while letting heat escape. Louvers with internal weather baffles solve both — sealed to the rating, ventilated for cooling.
Public chargers get attacked. IK10 impact resistance and tamper-resistant locking protect the high-value electronics from vandalism and theft — a core requirement, not an extra.
Continuous welds, gasket channels and material thickness are built to the released OEM design. The complete EVSE still requires OEM-managed laboratory testing; DRAmetal does not guarantee certification.

NEMA 3R/4/4X and IP54/65 with continuous welds and gasket channels — built to pass lab testing, not just claimed.
IK10 impact resistance and tamper-resistant locking to protect high-value electronics on public streets.
Mechanical features follow the released OEM design; the OEM and test body own UL 2594/2202 evaluation and Listing.
UV, corrosion and salt-spray requirements are defined by the buyer and validated by the responsible processor or test party.
From a single prototype to high-volume rollouts, with DFM feedback and export packaging for global markets.
For outdoor chargers, NEMA 3R (with ice protection) is a common minimum; NEMA 4/4X for harsher or corrosive/coastal sites, with IP54/65 (up to IP66 on request). We build to the rating your deployment environment requires.
Yes — DC fast charging generates significant heat (cabinet air can reach 60–70 °C). We CNC-punch engineered louvers with internal weather baffles and provide mounting for fans and heat exchangers, so the enclosure cools the electronics while staying weatherproof.
UL certification documentation is available on request for applicable products and components. Confirm the exact enclosure model and listing scope for your project. We fabricate customer-released mechanical features such as seam welds and gasket channels. The EVSE OEM and accredited laboratory own the finished- unit test, certification and labeling.
Yes — IK10 impact resistance (IK08 for ventilation louvers), tamper-resistant hardware, and lockable doors protect the high-value electronics from vandalism and theft on public installations.
Powder-coated carbon steel for cost-effective general outdoor use; 316 stainless for coastal/highway (salt); aluminum where weight matters (wall-mount). We'll recommend based on your site and budget.
