Here are key signs your EV charging equipment needs professional attention:
Visible physical damage
Look for dents, cracks, or burns on the charger casing, connectors, or cables. Corrosion on ports or wiring due to environmental exposure also indicates immediate maintenance needs.
Electrical irregularities
Overheating components (especially noticeable in summer) or exposed wiring require urgent inspection. Malfunctioning ground fault interrupters (GFIs) or inconsistent charging speeds also signal electrical issues.
Operational warnings
Frequent charging interruptions, error messages on the charger display, or failure to initiate charging sessions suggest internal faults. Unusual noises (buzzing/humming) during operation should prompt immediate checks.
Environmental exposure
Chargers exposed to excessive debris, moisture, or extreme temperatures require more frequent inspections to prevent long-term damage. Seasonal maintenance is critical in harsh climates.
If any of these issues occur, contact a licensed electrician or EV charging specialist. Annual professional inspections are recommended even without obvious problems.
