Maintenance
EGen Electrical are specialists in the installation of electric vehicle chargers and provide a maintenance service to keep you and your vehicle moving.

A maintenance inspection ensures the charger’s optimum performance and electrical safety, providing assurance it is safe for anyone to use.
Our Services Include:
A regulatory safety inspection can be scheduled with us prior to the due date for owners of public charging stations. We will send a licensed electrician to inspect the unit using specialised equipment to provide a safety inspection test. Any issues with compliance will be reported immediately with a quotation for repairs to eliminate any hazards and downtime of the charger. On completion of the maintenance work, your equipment will be properly tested and tagged to Workplace Health & Safety Regulations.
Please contact us for further information on our annual scheduled maintenance service.
How frequently a charging station needs maintenance and the cost for this varies depending on the type of chargers used. Here’s a breakdown of the different types of chargers and recommended upkeep details:
Level 2 EV chargers are commonly used in public charging stations and private dwellings. These often have more frequent component issues because of their complexity and size. This means they will require more frequent maintenance, regular cleaning and inspection for wear and tear.
In the long run, DC fast charger stations and superchargers will likely need extra repairs and maintenance. This is because they contain more complex hardware than the Level 2 systems. It’s recommended to set up routine scheduled maintenance as per the manufacturer’s requirements to keep these chargers running at optimal capacity and limit downtime.
Networked charging stations contain multiple linked chargers. Because these units contain extra electrical components, it’s likely that maintenance will be needed more regularly.
It’s a good idea to regularly inspect your EV charger stations. Here’s what you need to look out for:
If your EV charger stops working, the first step is to contact a specialised EV charger licensed electrician to diagnose and repair the problem. Attempting to repair the charger on your own can be dangerous and may void any warranty or insurance coverage. Contact our experts right away if you experience any issues with your EV charger.
