What Is a Basic EV Charger?
A basic EV charger is an AC charging station designed for straightforward local charging without making app-based control, user authentication or charging-network management the primary requirement.
“Basic” describes how the charger is operated and managed. It does not mean reduced charging safety, limited power capability or lower build quality. Depending on the selected model and configuration, users can view essential charging information through LED indicators or an integrated display, while common single-phase and three-phase power options support different residential and light commercial requirements.
- Straightforward Operation: The charger focuses on the essential charging process, making it suitable for drivers and sites that do not need account-based operation or complex digital management.
- Clear Local Charging Status: LED indicators or an integrated display provide key charging information directly at the charger without relying on a mobile platform.
- Flexible AC Configurations: Select the required charging power, connector standard, cable or socket format and other model-specific options according to the target market and project.
Is a Basic EV Charger Right for Your Project?
Basic EV chargers are a practical choice when straightforward, dependable charging is more important than remote operation or individual user management. Consider how the charging site will be accessed, monitored and managed before selecting a configuration.
A Basic EV Charger May Be Suitable When:
- Charging is provided without individual user billing.
- Drivers do not need separate accounts or mobile-app access.
- Remote charger monitoring is not required.
- The charging point is installed in a private or controlled location.
- The site requires straightforward operation for regular AC charging.
- The project does not need integration with a charging-management platform.
Consider Another Charging Configuration When You Need
- Mobile control and charging records — [APP EV Chargers]
- Authorised user access — [RFID EV Chargers]
- Backend monitoring and charger management — [OCPP EV Chargers]
- Dynamic load balancing or solar charging — [DLB & Solar Charging]
The appropriate configuration depends on the exact model, site conditions and project requirements. BESEN can help distributors, installers and project buyers identify a suitable charging solution before quotation.

A basic EV charger is an AC charging station designed for straightforward local charging without making app control, user authentication or charging-network management the primary requirement. “Basic” describes the operating configuration rather than the charger’s safety, power capability or build quality.
Yes. A basic configuration can provide local charging without requiring drivers to use a mobile app. The exact start method and available local charging information depend on the selected model and configuration.
A basic EV charger focuses on straightforward local charging. Smart configurations may add functions such as app control, charging records, user authentication, remote monitoring, load management or OCPP connectivity. The appropriate choice depends on how the charging site will be accessed and managed.
The terms can overlap, but they are not always identical. “Basic” describes a straightforward product configuration, while “non-networked” specifically means that the charger is not connected to a central charging network. Confirm the communication and management requirements of the exact configuration before ordering.
The BESEN basic charger range includes 3.6 kW, 7.2 kW, 11 kW and 22 kW configurations. The appropriate rating depends on the local electrical supply, vehicle onboard charger and required charging time.
The product range covers SAE J1772, IEC 62196-2 and GB/T connector standards. Connector availability varies by charger model, so the target market and vehicle compatibility should be confirmed before product selection.
Yes. The range includes tethered cable and socket configurations. Availability depends on the selected charger model and connector standard.
The current product range is designed with IP66 ingress protection and IK10 impact resistance for indoor and outdoor charging environments. Installation conditions and local electrical requirements should still be reviewed by a qualified installer.
Choose an RFID configuration when authorised user access is required, an APP configuration when users need mobile control or charging information, and an OCPP configuration when the project requires backend monitoring or charging-platform integration.
BESEN provides OEM and ODM support for qualified orders. Available options can include product configuration, logo, label, packaging and user-manual customization. The scope, quantity and approval process are confirmed according to the selected model and project.
Available datasheets, manuals and compliance documents depend on the exact charger model, power rating, connector type, product configuration and destination market. Contact BESEN with your project details to confirm the applicable document package.
