Have Broken, Run-Down, Out-of-Warranty, or Outdated EV Chargers? Here’s What You Can Do

A row of electric vehicles parked at a Chargie Level 2 station, highlighting the growing infrastructure for electric cars.

As EV drivers ourselves, we understand there is no point in having chargers that don’t work. Broken, out-of-warranty, or run-down chargers can be a real nuisance for both drivers and property owners. For many broken and run-down chargers, simple software upgrades or maintenance may not be sufficient; instead, new hardware and systems are required. Sounds like it would be a lot of work, but with Chargie, it’s actually rather simple. Chargie can remove old stations and replace them with brand-new models.

Funding the Project

Regardless of which provider the existing chargers are with, Chargie can remove and replace them for you, possibly for no cost. Our team will evaluate the property’s eligibility for current rebate programs that may cover the entire process, all the way from removal to replacement. However, these rebate programs may not always be available, so it’s important to act soon. Under the CALSTART Communities in Charge program, your property may be eligible to save thousands on the entire process, significantly offsetting costs for property owners. The current wave of funding for this program lasts until January 9, 2026, so the time to apply is now.
