Our comprehensive design guide helps developers avoid common pitfalls in wallbox development, from material selection to processing parameters. By following proven best practices, engineering teams can reduce development cycles, minimize costly redesigns, and accelerate time to market. The guide addresses typical challenges like wall thickness optimization, gate placement, and thermal management - enabling faster, more efficient product development with our EV charging material solutions.

Home charging solutions: Safe and reliable EV charging material for every garage

Home wallboxes require materials that combines safety with everyday reliability. Our polycarbonate resins provide UL94 V0/5VA flame retardancy and exceptional impact resistance (to meet IK10 requirements) for residential charging applications. With excellent electrical insulation properties and resistance to temperature fluctuations from -30°C to 80°C, our PC materials ensure safe, long-lasting performance in garage environments while meeting global product safety standards.

Public charging stations: Weatherproof and vandalism-resistant infrastructure

Polycarbonate (PC) resins are inherently robust, uniting excellent dimensional stability, good impact resistance and UL94 flame retardancy, along with electrical insulation properties that can be tailored to meet product safety standards. 

High resistance to weathering, corrosion and rust make polycarbonate resins a good material for outdoor charging installations, withstanding storage temperatures between -30°C and 80°C. Compared to semi-crystalline materials, PC housings offer lower water absorption and a reduced level (4-6/1000) of post-tooling shrinkage. Moisture resistance (UL746C, f1 listing, IP degree) is combined with impact strength that remains high even at low temperatures, as well as UV resistance. Polycarbonate casings, front covers and decorative parts offer UL94 flame protection (V0 or 5VA).

Outdoors or indoors: design flexibility for corporate or private applications

The aesthetic possibilities offered by polycarbonate resins are infinite. They can be engineered for complete transparency, or to match any opaque or translucent color. Eye-catching molded shapes can be combined with metals and other plastics to suit any corporate design or household consumer preferences, as well as integrating functions. PC surface finishes can range from textured to matte and high gloss.

EV charging station solutions: cost-effective, lightweight and sustainable

Polycarbonates give EV charging station operators a cost effective and scalable path for growth. Easily mass-produced components provide the functionality needed for an electrical enclosure, along with toughness and styling that can underscore your brand identity and maximize your appeal to electric car drivers.

Lightweight PC resins meet EV charger housing requirements with just one-seventh the density of steel and half the weight of aluminum when following the same design form. Impact performance is significantly better than PMMA clear plastic acrylic and standard polystyrene. 

These high-performance properties come in a polycarbonate solution that shows high potential to be recycled at the end of its useful life. Our Makrolon® and Bayblend® polycarbonate grades partly made from post-industrial recycled (PIR) content, post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and certified mass-balanced renewable feedstock offer opportunities for a lower carbon footprint while helping to close the carbon cycle and conserve fossil resources.

Together with our partners, we are driving innovations for the EV charging infrastructure of tomorrow.
