A pedestal EV charger — also called a post-mounted or pillar charger — takes the charging unit off the wall and stands it on its own foundation. That single change unlocks surface car parks, landscaped forecourts, marina pitches, park-and-ride rows and retrofits where no suitable wall, no cable route and no landlord permission exist. DongYu builds pedestal units from the same certified platforms as our wall-mounted range, so specification, spares and firmware stay consistent across a mixed deployment.

When there is no wall to mount on, a DongYu pedestal EV charger puts the same proven charging module on a free-standing post. This category covers 7 kW and 11 kW AC and 20 kW to 30 kW DC, with Type 1, Type 2 and GB/T AC connectors or GB/T, CCS1, CCS2 and CHAdeMO on DC — and the interface at a height drivers can actually reach.
In our pedestal range the choice comes down to two answers: Level 2 AC at 7–11 kW for everything that parks for hours, or Level 3 DC at 20–30 kW where the bay has to turn over quickly. Here is what each level means in concrete terms.
Level 2 · 7 – 11 kW
The core pedestal application. Our AC pedestal runs at 7.4 kW single-phase or 11 kW three-phase from a dedicated supply and fills a car overnight — around 40 km of range per hour at 7 kW. IP55 enclosure, RFID access, OCPP 1.6J and a 5 m copper cable suit shared bays, staff car parks and hotel parking.
Level 3 · 20 – 30 kW
DC fast charging with the rectifier inside the station. Our pedestal DC column delivers DC 200–1000 V at up to 80 A, which is enough to make a post-mounted unit viable on a taxi rank, a retail island or a depot exit. Above 30 kW the enclosures grow into columns and cabinets — see our floor mounted range.
Two models carry the pedestal tag — one AC, one DC.
Confirm your target market and vehicle list and we will pin the exact model, post height and cable length for your site.

Specifications are indicative and may be adapted for OEM and ODM programmes.
Confirm final parameters against the approved datasheet before ordering.
Answering these questions helps determine the right charger specification for your site and avoids unnecessary capacity or configuration costs.
01
Available electrical capacity, distance from the distribution board, foundation options and whether the surface is asphalt, concrete or paving.
02
Two hours or more in a bay points to 7–11 kW AC. Twenty to forty minutes points to the 20–30 kW DC column — and above that, to our floor mounted range.
03
Post position relative to the bay, wheel-stop clearance, cable holster height, pedestrian routes and technician access for servicing.
04
Plug-and-charge is enough for a private driveway. Shared bays, fleets and public networks need RFID, tariffs and OCPP back-office control.

A pedestal is the answer whenever the parking bay and the power source are separated by open ground.
These are the applications we configure most often — each one changes the power rating, the enclosure rating and the payment layer.
A pedestal EV charger — also sold as a post-mounted, pillar or free-standing charger — is a charging unit mounted on its own vertical post or stand instead of a wall. The charging module is effectively the same hardware as a wall box, re-housed so that the interface, connector and cable holster sit at a comfortable height. DongYu’s pedestal category covers two models: a 7 kW / 11 kW AC unit and a 20 kW / 30 kW DC column.
Choose a pedestal whenever there is no suitable wall, or when the wall is too far from the bay. Typical triggers: open surface car parks, park-and-ride rows, marina and waterfront pitches, landscaped forecourts, retail islands and retrofit sites where you cannot drill into or cable through an existing structure. A pedestal also helps when you want the charger to be visible and reachable rather than tucked along a kerb, or when the post face needs to carry signage, wayfinding or paid advertising. Our 7 kW / 11 kW AC unit is the same product as the wall-mounted version, so you can mix formats on one site.
The AC pedestal is rated 7.4 kW maximum on single-phase and 11 kW maximum on three-phase, with a maximum current of 32 A and 16 A respectively, and ships with a Type 2, Type 1 or GB/T plug on a 5 m copper cable. The DC pedestal is available in 20 kW and 30 kW versions, delivering DC 200–1000 V at 0–80 A, with GB/T, CCS1, CCS2 and CHAdeMO connector options. If your project needs more than 30 kW DC per unit, the 40–480 kW stations sit in our floor mounted range.
The AC unit ships with a 5 m TPU or TPE copper cable fitted with the Type 2, Type 1 or GB/T plug for your market. It is ordered as a wall box, and the pole-mounted or floor-stand configuration is an optional variant — tell us which you need and the post is included in the quotation. The DC column is supplied as a floor-mounted unit with a 5 m pure copper cable, in either the 410 × 223 × 695 mm enclosure or the 410 × 223 × 1551 mm column, with bottom cable entry.
Both pedestal models ship with OCPP 1.6J pre-configured, the open protocol used by most charging management platforms. There is no vendor lock-in: connect to an existing back office, switch providers later, or run one platform across several suppliers. The AC unit connects over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or 4G, and the DC column over Ethernet or 4G, with live status, charging power, energy delivered, session history and fault codes all available remotely.
The AC pedestal uses an IP55 controller enclosure with UL94-V0 flame-retardant material, which covers outdoor use in rain and dust. The DC column is rated IP54 and is intended for outdoor installation under shelter, with forced-air cooling. Both are specified for −20 °C to +50 °C, and the DC unit additionally for altitudes up to 2000 m, with a quoted MTBF of 17520 hours and Level 2.0 metering accuracy at ≥ 95 % efficiency. If your site sits outside that envelope, tell us at quotation stage and we will advise on derating or a different enclosure.
Manufacturing is IATF 16949 certified, and products carry CE, CB, RoHS and TUV Mark with design compliance to IEC 61851-1:2017 and IEC 62196-2:2016. Enclosures use IP54 or IP55 ratings with UL94-V0 materials, and protection covers overload, ground, over-voltage and under-voltage, over-temperature and leakage — with CCID20 for North America or AC 30 mA plus DC 6 mA residual current protection for EU and GB/T markets. We also provide certification alignment support for market-specific approvals, and certificates are available on request during quotation.
