Very Impressed with the professional service. Explained clearly the process and any problems encountered.
At A.M Electrics Devon Ltd, we often get told, “But it’s still charging fine!” And that’s exactly what one of our customers said recently when we discovered a burnt-out neutral cable inside their EV charger.
From the outside, everything looked completely normal. The charger was mounted securely and appeared to function as expected. But once we opened it up for the routine annual check, this is what we found:
The neutral cable was visibly damaged and scorched, likely from overheating or poor contact. Left unattended, this could have easily led to:
- Electrical failure, meaning your charger could suddenly stop working
- Fire risk, especially in older or externally exposed installations
- Damage to your vehicle’s battery or onboard charging system
These kinds of faults don’t always trip an RCD or blow a fuse straight away, especially in single-phase setups. That’s why a yearly inspection isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s a must.
What an Annual EV Charger Test Covers
Our yearly testing includes:
- Full inspection of all internal terminations
