The average lifespan of a Level 2 EV charger is typically 10–20+ years, with most sources indicating a minimum of 10 years under proper maintenance, and some designs engineered to exceed two decades.
Key factors influencing lifespan:
- Usage frequency: Heavy use accelerates wear and tear.
- Weather exposure: Extreme temperatures or humidity can reduce longevity.
- Maintenance: Regular cleaning and professional inspections help sustain performance.
- Build quality: Commercial-grade units often outlast basic models.
Level 2 chargers generally have higher maintenance costs than Level 1 due to their complexity (~$400 annually per station), but proper care extends their operational life.
