EV chargers do not require a lot of maintenance.
They are designed to be stored outside and as such are designed to be protected to an extent from dust, debris, and weather.
However, just like your car, they will benefit from regular cleaning and yearly service checks.
The outer charging unit can be carefully washed when you wash your car, but it is important to keep the charging connecter dry. This is best cleaned with a dry cloth.
Some installers offer annual servicing packages when they install your charging unit.
These regular checks, like an MOT for older cars, ensure that the electrics are working correctly, that the connector is still safe to use, and can rectify any small damages before they become big, usually expensive repairs.
We recommend getting an annual servicing package like this to ensure your charger is always safe.
