EV Charger Warranty Claim: Evidence and Escalation
A charger that “does not work” can fail at several layers. Diagnose enough to identify who owns the next step without opening high-voltage equipment or bypassing electrical protection.
Evidence pack
Charger model, serial number and purchase invoice.
Installation and commissioning records.
Dedicated circuit, breaker / protection and earthing test details.
Fault code, photos and app or network logs.
Vehicle model used during the failure.
Installer and manufacturer ticket numbers.
Decision guide
Which layer is failing?
Choose the branch that best matches the symptom after basic safe checks.
Start hereWhere does the charging session fail?
Path A
No power or breaker / protection trips
Stop repeated resets and have the supply, circuit, protection and earthing checked by a qualified electrician or installer. A charger warranty does not cover an unsafe site installation.
Path B
Charger powers on but vehicle will not start charging
Compare vehicle and charger fault codes, connector condition and compatibility. Test only through approved procedures and preserve logs before resets.
Path C
Charging starts but app, network or payment fails
Separate communication failure from energy delivery. Save timestamps, session IDs and screenshots and raise the case with the network or operator as well as the hardware provider where relevant.
Path D
Hardware fault persists across known-good supply and vehicle
Use the manufacturer warranty process with serial number, diagnostics and installer evidence. Ask in writing who pays removal, labour, transport and replacement.
Safety stop
Do not use a charger or connector that is hot, burnt, cracked, water-damaged, arcing or repeatedly tripping protection. Isolate it safely and obtain qualified inspection before another charging attempt.
