EV Maintenance, Service & Warranty Work

EV-certified electricians can make sure that your EVs are properly maintained and serviced. We also have EV trained staff to answer any questions you may have.

Are you thinking about putting an electric vehicle (EV) charger at your residence, adding chargers to your company’s parking lot, or investing in commercial charging stations to meet the rising demand for EVs? If so, consider electric vehicle charger maintenance that occurs following your installation.

Maintaining an electric vehicle charging station will vary depending on the charger’s location and frequency of use. Also, the charger station’s projected costs and maintenance will depend on the charging level and whether it is networked.

What is the life of an EV Charger?

The expected charger lifespan is approximately ten years. External factors cause the most damage to electric car chargers. During the hot summer and cold winter months, the charger damage can occur. The best thing you can do to prolong your EV charger’s life is to maintain it regularly.

Just like a gas powered vehicle, following a maintenance schedule will prevent problems and prolong its lifespan.

Maintenance recommendations for each level

LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 2 CHARGERS

Replace the commercial-grade electrical outlet every few years.
Protect the charging wire from damage.
Examine all accessible EVSE components for wear and tear regularly.
Use a moist towel and mild detergent to clean the unit.
Ensure the unit is de-energized before servicing any electrical parts.

For networked L1 and L2 chargers, you will need to hire electricians to troubleshoot any issues and consider the costs of manual software resets.

Fast
Chargers

Level 1 and 2 devices do not have cooling systems, filters, or other components that need regular maintenance like Superchargers or Level 3 DC Fast Charging (DCFC) chargers. As a result, fast chargers require more maintenance.
