Why EV Charger Maintenance Matters


A well-maintained EV charger doesn’t just reduce the risk of breakdowns—it ensures uptime, keeps users happy, and protects your business reputation. Whether you’re operating workplace chargers, semi-public infrastructure, or public charging hubs, regular maintenance helps to:


  • Maximise charger uptime and reliability

  • Reduce emergency repair costs

  • Improve user satisfaction and loyalty

Without scheduled maintenance, chargers can suffer from:


  • Faulty connectors or loose cabling

  • Damaged screens or user interfaces
