European EV charging project RFQ checklist

A clear request for quotation is more useful than a generic catalogue. Use this checklist to obtain a comparable technical proposal for an AC wallbox, commercial DC charger or megawatt-class site. CowinLink can coordinate options with manufacturing partners once the project essentials are defined.

1. Location and operating model

Tell us the country, public/private status, site owner/operator, expected commissioning date and whether end users pay per session.

  • Installation country and language(s).
  • Private depot, workplace, retail parking or public highway.
  • Charging service provider, operator and payment stakeholder.

2. Electrical demand and physical site

Specify existing grid service, phase, voltage, maximum import, transformer capacity, available footprint and any expected solar/battery integration.

  • Planned number of bays and AC/DC classification.
  • Vehicles, battery sizes, arrival patterns, target kWh per session.
  • Available input power and future expansion plans.

3. Equipment and digital integration

Define Type 2/CCS2/MCS only when relevant, cable length, peak and simultaneous power, OCPP functions, site controller, metering, payment and languages.

  • Number of connectors and power-sharing policy.
  • Exact protocol and backend details, cybersecurity and network type.
  • HMI, RFID/app/card/payment terminal, multilingual UX.

4. Documentation, testing and commercial scope

Ask for a model-specific datasheet, wiring diagram, conformity declarations, relevant lab reports, installation manual, FAT/SAT plan, spare parts and warranty conditions.

  • Verify evidence applies to the same model and hardware revision.
  • Agree Incoterms, delivery scope, installation and commissioning responsibility.
  • Agree service level, training, remote access and data ownership.

Frequently asked questions

What should I send first?

At minimum: installation country, AC/DC type, total site capacity, output count, expected quantity and preferred schedule.

Can CowinLink quote without a site survey?

We can discuss budgetary categories, but a technically binding configuration requires the site, documentation and scope to be defined.
