Tasks you should entrust to a pro

Unless you are a certified electrician, most of the issues with your EV charger are beyond your competence. For example, one of the common issues is an issue with an inbuilt cable. In this case, you need professional EV charging cable repair.
​
To clarify, you may discover that you cannot feed your car with one cable while you can do this with another cable. This means something is wrong with the cable, and only a person with relevant training and expertise can fix the issue. The same is true if you notice signs of wear and tear on the cable.
​
Other tasks you should entrust to a pro include as follows:

• Tackling the case with a noisy EV charger or a unit with a burning smell
• Fixing not-working EV charging station
• Replacing any detail inside the unit or on its casing

Tasks you can do yourself

Still, there are some tasks you can tackle yourself – tasks that do not require any special knowledge.
For example, if you have an issue with a detachable EV charging cable, you can fix it yourself. Just buy the same charging cable and replace your faulty one with it.
​
Another task you can do yourself is to eliminate the simplest cause of your EV charger non-functioning. To clarify, you can check your breakers and reset them to make sure they provide your home and your EVSE with power. If after resetting the breakers your EV charger starts working as usual, the issue was in the power cut off by the breaker. Thus, you have fixed the issue yourself.

However, if after resetting the breakers, your unit does not start working, you have a more serious issue and should turn to a pro for tackling it.
