Custom Embedded Display Panels for EV Charging Infrastructure
MODEL: evse-embedded-panel-odm
Pretech specializes in deep-customization embedded display panels engineered for seamless integration into EV charging stations. Our solutions combine reliable touch interaction, flexible connectivity, and ODM-level hardware/software adaptation to meet the precise mechanical and electronic requirements of charging equipment manufacturers.
Supporting Android/Linux OS, Pretech embedded panels serve as the intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for real-time charging status, payment processing, and remote management. The key advantage lies in our Embedded Integration Strategy: we tailor panel dimensions, mounting structures, I/O layouts, and firmware to align perfectly with your charger chassis and control architecture—eliminating integration friction and accelerating time-to-market.
ODM Scalability & Platform Versatility
Pretech's ODM expertise ensures that every embedded panel delivers stable performance in commercial deployment scenarios, from urban AC wallboxes to highway DC fast chargers, while maintaining clean aesthetics and simplified serviceability.
Pretech leverages modular SOM/SBC platforms and Open Frame Kits to rapidly engineer custom embedded panels for EV chargers. Support flexible screen sizes (8"-32inch"), multiple mounting options (embedded/VESA/flush), and scalable I/O integration—accelerating ODM development for AC/DC charging stations while ensuring mechanical fit, protocol compatibility, and long-term supply stability.

The embedded panel is engineered for commercial-grade reliability in sheltered outdoor and indoor environments. With appropriate enclosure design from your side, the panel delivers consistent touch performance and visibility across typical deployment conditions.
Protocol Compatibility
-
Can the panel communicate with our charger controller and backend system using standard EV protocols?
Yes. Pretech firmware includes pre-integrated drivers for OCPP 1.6J/2.0.1, Modbus TCP/RTU, and CAN Bus. We also support custom protocol adaptation during the ODM phase to ensure seamless data exchange between HMI, controller, and CPO platform.
Power & Data Management
-
How does the dual-port USB-C design benefit EV charging station deployments?
One USB-C port handles dedicated power input for stable operation, while the second functions as a versatile Host/Device port for peripherals (payment terminals, printers, sensors). This separation prevents power fluctuations from disrupting data communication—a critical advantage for 24/7 charging infrastructure.
