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
