Congrats, Sync Energy’s first EPD is live
Good news for specifiers who shortlist EV charging gear. Sync Energy has entered the transparency arena with its first Environmental Product Declaration, which means fewer conservative defaults in carbon accounting and a cleaner path to approval on projects that care about embodied impacts.
What just went live
Sync Energy has published its first product‑specific Environmental Product Declaration for the Pro Charger Twin Type 2 floor‑mounted EV charger. It was issued in October 2025 under the PCR for charging stations and verified by the program operator EPD Hub. The declaration covers a commercial AC twin‑socket unit described with 4G connectivity and MID metering, indicating a single product model rather than a broad family. An external LCA consultant supported preparation.
Why it matters for specs
EV chargers sit at the crossroads of Division 26 and site infrastructure, so missing EPDs force project teams to use generic or pessimistic factors. A product‑specific, third‑party verified EPD removes that penalty and makes like‑for‑like comparisons possible in bids. When embodied‑carbon reviews are tight, this is the difference between staying on the shortlist or getting swapped late in submittals.
Program operator context
EPD Hub has become a familiar home for electrical and equipment EPDs, including power and lighting‑adjacent products. Its library has grown rapidly and the operator reports a 132 percent increase in published EPDs in 2024 (EPD Hub, 2026). That broader adoption helps specifiers find declarations faster in the places they already look.

The competitive picture today
Two close comparators already list EPDs for AC charging hardware. CTEK has an EPD for the Chargestorm Connected 3 wallbox, verified under EPD Hub. Amina Distribution publishes EPDs for its amina S models under EPD Norway. This puts Sync Energy shoulder to shoulder with EPD‑ready rivals in core commercial and residential charging use cases. We did not find publicly listed, product‑specific EPDs for Wallbox, EVBox, Zaptec, Easee or Tritium as of January 16, 2026, which suggests room to differentiate on documentation in certain tenders.
What this says about Sync Energy
The company’s catalog targets commercial sites and workplaces with twin bollard and wall‑mounted options, plus home charging and emerging home energy storage. That mix means purchasers can now pair performance claims with transparent impacts for at least one flagship model. The move signals operational maturity on data collection and verification that can be scaled across adjacent SKUs.
Where to find it
We looked for EPD PDFs on Sync Energy’s product and downloads pages and did not spot them at the time of writing. Adding the EPD file to the product page and any sustainability hub would boost visibilty and reduce email ping‑pong for estimators. If the file is already published with the operator, linking it from the product page is a quick win.
Takeaway for manufacturers
First EPDs are more than a green ribbon. They clear the path for cleaner comparisons, reduce substitution risk, and set a template the portfolio can follow. Sync Energy has flipped the switch on transparency. Teams competing in EV charging who still lack product‑specific EPDs will feel that gap more often as 2026 projects tighten materials accounting, so now is the moment to catch up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which product did Sync Energy cover with its first EPD and under which program operator?
The Pro Charger Twin Type 2 floor‑mounted AC EV charger, verified and published by EPD Hub in October 2025. The declaration follows the charging stations PCR.
Do close competitors have EPDs for comparable AC chargers?
Yes. CTEK lists an EPD for the Chargestorm Connected 3 under EPD Hub, and Amina Distribution publishes EPDs for amina S models under EPD Norway. Others like Wallbox, EVBox, Zaptec, Easee and Tritium did not show public product‑specific EPDs as of January 16, 2026.
Where should a manufacturer place new EPDs for maximum impact?
Place the PDF and a short summary on each relevant product page and in a central sustainability or resources page. Link to the program operator’s listing for verification traceability. This small step cuts submittal back‑and‑forth and improves spec odds.
