A Portable EV Charger Warranty will offer you some protection from faults that may occur within the product when you are using it for charging. However, this will depend on a variety of factors such as who manufactured it, the model, conditions during installation and the way the charger has been used. Before you purchase, look at how long the warranty lasts, what it covers (manufacturing faults), any exclusions and the claims process. This will give you an understanding of what may happen if your charger does have a fault and avoid any repair costs and confusion
What Does a Portable EV Charger Warranty Cover?
The portable battery charger will contain electrical components to manage the power from the charging point to your electric vehicle.
If there is any faulty component within the unit due to manufacturing fault during the warranty period, the manufacturer may provide you with repair or replacement based on their terms.
What are Manufacturing Faults?
Faulty components caused by the materials, components or during manufacturing.
For example, an internal electrical component may have failed due to normal operation even when installed and used correctly.
This does not necessarily mean there is a manufacturing fault. You may need to get technical inspection done.
What Is Not Usually Covered Under Warranty?
Exclusions can be an important aspect of warranties.
Common exclusions include:
- Damage from electrical surges
- Improper installation or wiring
- Accidental damage
- Unauthorized repairs or alterations
- Damage from incorrect usage
- Accessories
Depending on the wording of the manufacturers warranty statement, certain exclusions will apply.
If your charger is damaged due to incorrect power connections it may be treated differently than if it has manufacturing faults.
Understanding the EVFAST Portable EV Charger Warranty
EVFAST products come with a 1 Year warranty period, for manufacturing defects.
This doesn’t cover any accessories or add-on items. It also will not cover damage from power surges, electrical damage on the supply side, burning out, incorrect fitting, accidents, physical damage or unauthorised alterations/repairs.
We would recommend checking the exact terms for your specific item when purchasing.
Why Proper Installation Matters for Warranty Claims
Whilst portable chargers are very flexible, they must be connected to a suitable socket.
EVFAST require a suitable 32A industrial socket, suitable copper cabling, correct earthing and circuit protection for their 7.4kW portable charger.
Incorrect connections can cause excessive heating and electrical hazards.
Always refer to your product manual. It is recommended you have a qualified electrician carry out any checks or installation of the supply connection.
Correct installation will ensure safe operation and help prevent issues caused by incorrect use.
What Documents Should Buyers Keep?
When claiming your Portable EV Charger Warranty it will make it easier if you have the following details;
- Your original invoice
- Product model and serial number
- Warranty documents
- Installation documents (if applicable)
- Photos/videos of the issue
- Previous correspondence with our customer service team.
We recommend storing these digitally so we can refer back to them during the course of your warranty.
How to Raise a Portable EV Charger Warranty Claim
If the charger unit has failed you must ensure that you disconnect it correctly and do not open up the charger.
Check the manufacturers troubleshooting guide first.
Contact the authorised support team to describe the problem.
Provide them with the invoice, product information and operating conditions.
Ask if they need to inspect, repair or replace the item and if there will be a delivery charge.
Support can be found by contacting the support number provided on the official EVFAST website.
What Should You Check Before Buying?
Don’t just look at how long the warranty is
Check what the warranty includes in detail. What can you claim? Are there any accessories included? What are the repair options available? Is there a service?
Also check that it is compatible with your charging, safety and installation requirements.
A clear warranty helps you know what you’re responsible for and what help you may get should anything go wrong.
