EV charger maintenance is vital for various reasons. 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
Ensure safety and regulatory compliance
Protect your return on investment (ROI)
Understanding Common EV Charger Issues
Without scheduled maintenance, chargers can face many issues. These problems might include:
Faulty connectors or loose cabling
Damaged screens or user interfaces
Software errors or connectivity issues
