We’ve shared a guide about EV infrastructure anxiety and how we can help you make it secure for winter, ensuring optimum use for EV drivers.

What is EV infrastructure? 

EV infrastructure refers to the charging station network and equipment that support electric vehicles, including both public and private charging points, as well as grid connections. 

The term EV infrastructure also refers to power grids and network connectivity, as running charging stations requires more maintenance than you think. As the EV market grows, the demand for larger and stronger charging networks is crucial, ensuring there’s enough electricity to power the infrastructure, and it works for EV users.

How can we ensure your charging network is working effectively for users?

Maintaining your EV infrastructure prevents faults, ensures optimal use and longevity across the whole site and individual chargers. Maintenance can involve regular tests and services, an annual inspection, call-outs for larger problems and regular reports to see how your infrastructure is performing overall.

Preventative methods, rather than fixing a noticeable problem, can help you plan for seasonality, such as a solid system for winter and ensuring your infrastructure is running effectively.

EV infrastructure site survey

Detecting the infrastructure issues is the first step in finding a cost-effective solution. 

We’ll perform a site survey to identify any current issues or potential future problems and suggest the best solutions. We’ll share different options, aligned with your business goals, needs, budget and charger purpose, such as replacing parts, repairing software issues or replacing the entire charger.

We may also suggest installing more EV chargers to build your charging network and support the future demands of your EV users.

EV ChargeCare

EV ChargeCare is a 24/7 and 365-day-a-year management service for clients across the UK. 

EV ChargeCare covers management and support of your EV infrastructure, including out-of-hours monitoring, regular charger updates, annual inspections with performance reviews, and electrical safety tests and services each year. We’ll also provide you with accurate data on usage and revenue.

We offer silver, gold and platinum packages for EV ChargeCare to deliver the suitable level of support for your business’s needs.

Our EV Refresh Scheme 

Ahead of winter, you may have noticed that chargers aren’t working their best or receiving feedback from customers in this instance. Often, chargers don’t necessarily need to be fully replaced; older chargers may only require a part replacement.

Our EV Refresh Scheme helps restore chargers by replacing the essential part to revive them, refreshing their power, rather than replacing the entire charger. 

The solution helps with securing EV infrastructure through minor and necessary fixes, rather than replacing the entire charger or charger network. We can focus on the most prominent issues which are preventing optimal use. 

Tips and advice on maintaining your EV infrastructure in winter

  • Regular maintenance checks by EV specialists
  • Sorting the issue as soon as it’s noticeable, rather than waiting for it to progress
  • Working collaboratively with your back office management engineer to stay in the loop for any networking failures or arising issues

If you’re looking for EV maintenance, aftercare and support, we’re here to help and can find a solution to secure your EV infrastructure for winter.

Planning is key, and we’re passionate about cost-effective solutions for all businesses.
