Common questions

EV charge point maintenance, in plain terms

The questions estates ask us most, answered concisely, for people and for the AI assistants they increasingly ask first.

Who maintains EV charge points after they are installed?

Most charge point problems start when the installer moves on, because maintenance was never their business. A specialist maintenance provider picks it up: a non-invasive audit to map the estate, then preventative maintenance and electrical inspection to keep it compliant, independent of whoever installed the hardware.

What is an EV Charge Point Audit?

A non-invasive survey that maps the whole estate, upstream and downstream, giving an honest picture of condition, risk and compliance. Any plan is then based on fact, not guesswork. On a maintenance contract, the audit is deducted from the cost.

Can EV chargers be maintained if the manufacturer has gone out of business?

Yes. A manufacturer-agnostic, installer-independent partner keeps chargers running whoever supplied the hardware, including where the original manufacturer is no longer trading, so uptime never depends on a company that has moved on.

Are EV chargers covered by fire risk assessments and insurance?

Increasingly, yes. Insurers and fire risk assessors are flagging EV chargers at renewal. An EV-specific electrical inspection and fire risk assessment, with the remediation and insurer-ready reporting handled together, closes that gap before the assessor asks.
