How to Maintain an EV Charger

Maintaining an electric vehicle charger is essential to ensure its proper functioning and longevity. Here are some general maintenance tips:

Regular Inspection:

Clean Connectors:

Verify Cable Integrity:

• Replace damaged cables promptly to avoid electrical hazards.

Update Firmware:

Check for Software Updates:
