EV charger repair in South Croydon
- 01
Common charger faults
Typical problems include an RCD or breaker that trips during charging, a charger that locks out after detecting a supply fault, damaged cables or connectors, and units that have dropped off Wi-Fi. Water getting into a charger or its connections can also cause faults, especially in poorly sealed units.

Checks you can do first
Make sure the breaker for the charger is on and hasn't tripped, check the car is set to accept charge and look for messages in the charger app. Restarting the charger by switching it off at the isolator for a minute can clear some errors.

Warranty and manufacturer support
If your charger is still under warranty, the manufacturer may need to approve or carry out some repairs. We can test the installation, rule out supply problems and give you the findings to support a warranty claim, then fix anything on the installation side.
What to expect from an EV charger repair
Tell us the charger make and model, any error codes and when the fault happens. On site, we check the circuit, the protection and the earthing, then test the charger itself. Some faults turn out to be in the supply rather than the unit, so we test both before suggesting a fix.
If it's a quick fix, such as a damaged connection or a faulty breaker, we can often repair it there and then. If the charger itself needs parts or replacing, we explain the options and give you a free quote. We test everything before you charge again.

EV charger repair questions
Why does my EV charger in South Croydon keep tripping?
Common reasons include a fault in the charger, moisture in the unit or its connections, an RCD that isn't suited to EV charging, or the circuit being overloaded. Sometimes the car itself is the cause. We test the circuit and the charger to find which it is.
Can you repair a charger that someone else installed in Croydon?
Yes. We can test and repair chargers whoever fitted them. If we find problems with the original installation, such as missing earth protection or undersized cable, we'll explain them and quote to put them right, so the charger is safe as well as working.
Should I replace or repair my old EV charger?
If the charger is a few years old and the fault is minor, repair usually makes sense. If it's out of warranty, has a major fault or lacks smart features you want, replacing it can be better value. We'll give you both options so you can decide.
Is it safe to keep using a charger that shows a fault?
No. If the charger shows a fault light, smells hot, has a damaged cable or trips the power, stop using it and switch it off at the isolator. Charge elsewhere until it's been checked, as some faults can get worse or create a shock risk.
