What Issues With EV Chargers Do We Fix?

At Antey Engineering Systems, we install, repair, and upgrade home EV charging stations to ensure your vehicle gets safe, efficient power. Whether you’re upgrading from a standard outlet or your current charger is malfunctioning, we have the tools and experience to help.

• Charging that takes a long time or doesn’t finish – If your EV takes too long to charge or doesn’t complete a full cycle, it may be due to low amperage, an outdated charger, or poor electrical connectivity.
• The breaker trips when charging starts – If your charging station trips the circuit breaker, your panel might be overloaded or the wiring might be incorrect. We’ll identify the cause and repair it safely.
• Loose wiring or improper installation – Poorly installed chargers and loose connections can pose fire risks or damage your charger permanently. We correct faulty installs and always follow local electrical codes.
• Vehicle doesn’t recognize the charger – If your car can’t detect the charger, the issue may lie with the cord, outlet, or internal vehicle components. We troubleshoot and repair to restore smooth communication.
• Overheated or scorched outlet – If your outlet feels hot or shows burn marks, it’s a red flag. We’ll inspect your system and replace any unsafe components to avoid electrical hazards.
• Insufficient power from your panel – Some homes require a panel upgrade or dedicated circuit to support Level 2 EV chargers. We assess your system and recommend safe charging solutions tailored to your setup.

We install and service chargers from top brands like ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Blink, and Tesla Wall Connectors.

What Causes EV Charger Problems?

Understanding the root causes of EV charging issues helps prevent future malfunctions. Here are the most common reasons for charging failures:

• Insufficient amperage or outdated electrical panels – Many older homes aren’t equipped for the demands of modern EV chargers. Upgrading the panel can prevent overloads and inefficiency.
• Improper or DIY installations – Non-professional wiring often leads to recurring faults, tripped breakers, or overheating. Safe installation matters.
• Charger and vehicle incompatibility – Some EVs require specific charger models or power ratings. Incompatible setups can cause charging errors or reduced efficiency.
• Weather and moisture exposure – Outdoor chargers without proper sealing or enclosures may experience corrosion or water damage over time.
• Aging or low-quality charging equipment – Outdated or cheaply made chargers tend to fail early. We always recommend tested and certified products for long-term safety and performance.

Should you fix or upgrade your EV charging setup?

Not every problem with your electric vehicle charger means you need to buy a new one. In many cases, only a small fix or an upgrade to a dedicated circuit is all it takes to make things safer and work better. At Antey Engineering Systems, we always start with a full inspection and provide honest advice based on the condition of your system and your charging needs.

‍

When repairs or small upgrades make sense:

• Your current charger still works – If your charger turns on and charges your car, even with minor issues, a small repair or cable replacement might restore it to full power.
• You're having small electrical problems – Sometimes, you can fix a tripping breaker or slow charging by changing the circuit or using a special outlet instead of replacing the entire charger.
• You don't plan on getting a new car anytime soon – If your current charger works with your car and you’re not upgrading to a higher-powered EV, fixing it is often the most cost-effective choice.
• Your electrical panel has space for more circuits – If your panel can handle another circuit, we can install or upgrade your charger without replacing the whole panel.

‍

When should you think about an upgrade?

• You got a new car that can charge quickly – If your new EV supports Level 2 or faster charging, upgrading your home charging system will make charging faster and more efficient.
• Your charger often stops working or overheats – If your charger frequently fails, plugs get hot, or there’s visible wear and tear, it might be incompatible with your setup and need replacement.
• You're adding a backup generator or solar panels – Integrating an EV charger with solar or home energy systems may require an equipment change or upgrade.
• You want a long-term convenience boost – Installing a wall-mounted charger, extending the cord length, or adding smart charging capabilities can make your daily EV use easier.
