Examine and clean the charging cords.
Your EV charger must be maintained to a high standard. You can do so in part by regularly checking the charging cables. Examine them to see if they’re damaged or worn. Replace them if you see any frayed wires or cracks. You might also want to clean your cables. Clean with a soft cloth to remove any dust or dirt. This will ensure that your charger stays in good condition.
Keep charging station away from bad weather.
We don’t like bad weather and neither do EV chargers. Rain, snow and sun can harm the charger if it is left unprotected. Place your charger in a location that isn’t overly wet but also isn’t overheated. If possible, place a cover over the charging station. This will prevent water damage and overheating that can help your charger to last longer.
Don’t overcharge your EV.
We all love a full battery, but overcharging your EV can be bad. Keeping your car plugged in for an extended period of time can be damaging to the Portable EV Charger. This can lead to overheating and damage. To protect your charger, unplug your EV the moment it has finished charging. That will help it stick around longer.
Occasionally inspect your charger.
Your doctor sees you for a check-up, your EV charger wants to see you too. That would be a good reason for having regular checks to see if things are working okay. Call in a pro to inspect the Charger and correct problems before they become worse. In doing so, you can ensure your charger will last for years to come.
How about a surge protector for your charger?
Power surges can be terrible for your EV charger. In case of a sudden surge of electricity, the charger can be destroyed. You can buy a surge protector to help prevent this from occurring. A surge protector can help protect your DC EV Chargers by absorbing any unnecessary electricity. It's a small price to pay for added protection and longevity of your charger.
