Lincoln Electric EV Chargers Earn NEMA Make It American Certification
The Velion DC Fast Chargers are manufactured in the US with more than 70% domestic content.
EVSE manufacturer Lincoln Electric has received product-level certification under the National Electrical Manufacturers Association’s (NEMA) Make It American program for its Velion DC Fast Chargers.
What Happened
Lincoln Electric’s Velion DC Fast Chargers are manufactured in the United States with more than 70% domestic content, according to the company. The NEMA Make It American program provides an independent framework for validating domestic manufacturing and content requirements, addressing the need for contractors, government agencies, and fleet operators to prove that hardware meets specified domestic content proportions. NEMA SVP of Strategic Growth and Membership Alexa Burr stated that the certification offers a verified resource for contractors, state transportation departments, and federal agencies, reflecting the manufacturing leadership the program was built to recognize.
Why It Matters
For buyers legally required to purchase hardware with specific domestic content levels, this certification supports compliance for federally funded projects. Lincoln Electric noted that the certification also helps customers reduce supply chain risk and provides greater confidence in the security and availability of their EV charging infrastructure. Bruce Chantry, Vice President of Electric Vehicle Solutions at Lincoln Electric, emphasized that combining domestic engineering with a resilient domestic supply chain helps customers reduce risk and strengthen reliability.
The Bottom Line
Lincoln Electric joins the ranks of certified domestic EVSE manufacturers, providing a verified option for buyers seeking to meet federal and state domestic content requirements while aiming to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities.
