With the EV Vehicle market ever-growing and expanding, the continued installation of Electric Vehicle Charge Points is growing and thriving.
How often should EV Chargers be maintained?
Depending on the EV Charge Point location, the frequency of regular maintenance varies. As a general rule, ICEE recommend your chargers are maintained and checked by our teams at least every six months, especially if your chargers are used commercially often.
Electrical safety is so important however, so if you notice an issue with your charger, whether it’s damage, or not functioning as well as it used to, ICEE-EV recommends having it checked over by our teams as soon as possible.
Key Aspects of our EV Charger Maintenance
Utilising our highly qualified team of Electricians across the United Kingdom, our EV Charger Maintenance covers a whole host of visual, physical and software checks.
Visual Inspections
Firmware & Software Updates
Electrical Testing
The first, and perhaps the most basic step, yet still highly important, is performing regular visual inspections. This involves checking for physical damage, broken components, or exposed wires that could pose safety risks. Our team also ensure all cables and connectors are safe and working, as well as any visual aids such as lights on the unit are functioning correctly.
As EV Chargers, and their systems develop, built in software tends to need to be updated. This can include firmware or software updates, which can improve performance of the unit, enhance security or fix any issues built into the software.
Regular electrical testing ensures that the charger is delivering the correct amount of power safely and consistently. This includes voltage and current checks, grounding & earthing checks, and insulation resistance testing. Our NICEIC Approved Electricians ensure we undertake these checks safely and compliantly.
