As electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure expands, occasional hardware malfunctions are inevitable. Understanding how to properly file and process warranty claims ensures quick resolution and minimizes downtime. This guide walks you through the key steps for handling warranty claims effectively.
Verify Your Charger’s Warranty Coverage
Before submitting a claim:
Check the warranty period (typically 1-3 years).
Review terms for covered components (e.g., cables, connectors, software).
Confirm if labor costs are included.
Keep purchase receipts and warranty documents accessible.
Diagnose the Issue
Not all problems require warranty service. Rule out:
- User errors (e.g., incorrect plugging).
- External factors (power surges, physical damage).
- Software bugs (try a firmware update first).
If the issue persists, document:
- Error codes/messages.
- Photos/videos of the malfunction.
Contact the Manufacturer or Supplier
Reach out via:
- Email (attach proof of purchase and issue details).
- Customer support hotline.
- Online warranty portals (if available).
