EV Charger Commissioning Has
47 Quality Checkpoints
The Challenge
Power output testing skipped at installation
Chargers pass electrical inspection but nobody verifies actual power output at each connector. Customers arrive to find chargers delivering half the rated power.
Network connectivity tested too late
Cellular or WiFi connectivity is verified weeks after installation. Failed connections mean rolling trucks back to sites at $500 per trip to troubleshoot.
ADA compliance checked by different people
Mounting height, reach range, ground slope, and clear floor space requirements checked at different times by different people. Nobody has a single comprehensive ADA record.
Signage requirements vary by jurisdiction
ADA signs, EV-only parking signs, rate display signs, and safety labels differ by state and utility. Wrong signage means rework and re-inspection.
The POD Advantage
Voice-guided commissioning checklist
POD walks technicians through every commissioning checkpoint. Power output, network ping, payment terminal test, and connector verification all captured at install time.
Network testing at installation
Connectivity verification built into the install workflow. POD flags communication failures before the crew leaves the site.
ADA compliance verification
Comprehensive ADA checklist with measurement fields and photo documentation. One record proves every accessibility requirement was met.
Photo-verified signage compliance
POD prompts for photos of every required sign with jurisdiction-specific requirements pre-loaded. Catch missing or wrong signs during installation.
Commissioning Quality at Scale
“We commissioned 50 chargers and 14 failed network connectivity testing. Had to roll trucks back to every site. If we had documented the network config during install, we would have caught it same day.”
