Benefits of Service Maintenance Contracts for EV Charge Points

There is nothing more frsutrating than going to use something and it isn’t working, and it always seems to be when you have the least amount of time to find an alternative solution. In a commercial environment time is money and ensuring your charge point is working properly when you need it is essential.

UKGEI already support a range of businesses in Surrey, Berkshire and Hampshire with a maintenance contract ensuring all of their EV charge points are working when they’re required.

Benefits of signing up for a maintenance contract

• Be proactive with proof of safety checks will tick the box for insurance purposes.

• Maintenance contracts will include regular testing (every six months) to ensure all safety critical components such as RCDs and RCBOs for added peace of mind.

• Maintenance contracts will also test functional components are working properly such as covers and barriers that can prevent damage and water ingress stopping your charger from working.

Top Tips to Keep Your EV Charge Points Performing

Once your EV Charge Points are installed it is easy to apply the tick for job done, without another thought on if they will continue to function with minimal intervention.

Although most of the time this is the case, there are things we can do to ensure the charge points continue to function as we’d expect including:

• Keeping an eye out for visual damage of the unit/s that may allow environmental conditions to effect performance such as water ingress

• Keep your back-office subscriptions going and keep a note of the date of first year’s completion, otherwsie you might get a surprise once the first year’s subscription has expired

• Ensure firmware is kept up-to-date because in some instances this could prevent your charger from functioning due to conflicts.

• As most commercial chargers are untethered, it is important to ensure colleagues are using cables which are well maintained so they don’t affect your charge point.

• Consider a maintenance contract which will ensure all of the above is monitored for you.
