As more drivers make the switch to electric vehicles, having a reliable home EV charger has become essential. But like any piece of technology, an EV charger needs proper care to ensure it continues working efficiently for years to come.
At EV Charging Company, we don’t just fit EV chargers — we want to help you get the best long-term value out of your installation. That’s why we always advise customers to carry out a few simple maintenance checks to keep things running smoothly.
Why EV Charger Maintenance Matters
Your EV charger is exposed to the elements, used frequently, and plays a key role in keeping your vehicle ready to go. While modern chargers are designed to be robust, occasional maintenance can help you:
- Avoid faults or unexpected downtime
- Extend the lifespan of your charger
- Ensure safe, efficient performance
- Maintain warranty compliance
Whether you’ve had your unit for a few months or a few years, regular upkeep can save you time and money in the long run.
Simple Steps to Keep Your Charger in Top Condition
1. Inspect the cables and connectors
Check for any visible wear and tear, fraying, or damage to the charging cable. Make sure the plug fits securely and there’s no buildup of dirt or debris in the connector.
2. Keep the unit clean and dry
Gently wipe down your charger using a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust, cobwebs or leaves — especially if it’s wall-mounted outside. Avoid using harsh chemicals, and never spray water directly onto the unit.
3. Check for warning lights or error codes
Most smart chargers display warning lights or app notifications if something’s wrong. If anything unusual appears, don’t ignore it — contact us for advice.
4. Make sure your charger is secure
Over time, outdoor chargers may loosen slightly from their mounting points. Make sure everything is still securely fixed, especially after periods of heavy rain or wind.
5. Schedule professional servicing if needed
If you’ve noticed performance issues or just want peace of mind, we can carry out a full inspection and diagnostic test to ensure your charger is operating at its best.
