EV Charger Maintenance Birmingham

As cities like Birmingham experience a growing number of EVs on the road, the need for EV charging units increases. From on-street chargers to communal chargers in supermarket and shopping centre car parks, to charges on business premises, all of these units need to be maintained.

We offer EV charger maintenance Birmingham, to keep these units in top condition. Proper maintenance not only improves the longevity and performance of the charging unit but also guarantees a safer and more efficient charging experience.

Whether you’re a business owner charging for staff or you’re a landlord with private charging points, maintaining your infrastructure is key for ensuring longevity and avoiding costly repairs.

The Benefits of EV Charger Maintenance

• Neglecting the maintenance of charging units can lead to slower charging times, forcing users to wait longer before their car is ready, which is good for no one!
• Problems like overheating can cause serious safety risks, including things like fire or electric shocks.
• A faulty charger could also potentially cause damage to an electric vehicle, especially if it delivers irregular voltage.

Regular testing is essential for ensuring fast charging times, preventing serious malfunctions and ensuring the systems do not damage cars. Regular servicing can also help detect issues early on, before they turn into costly breakdowns.

EV Charger Maintenance: The Steps

Professional EV charge maintenance Birmingham will involve comprehensive inspection and testing. Here’s a rough guide of what will typically happen:

• Visual inspection: The engineer will give the unit a thorough once-over, looking for any obvious visual signs of damage on the unit, the cables and the plug. They will also ensure the unit is properly installed and mounted.
• Electrical testing: All electrical parts are inspected to ensure they are installed securely and working correctly. A malfunctioning electrical connection can be the cause of inefficient charging, or even electrical hazards. The unit’s performance, for example, its current output, will also be tested.
• Safety checks: A huge amount of current runs through an electrical vehicle charger, so it’s essential to ensure all safety features are working properly. The engineer will test features like earth leakage and overload protection to make sure they are functioning as they should.
• Repairs and replacement: If your EV charging unit does need to be fixed up, our engineers will quote for the work and offer the necessary repairs.
