VoltCare · hardware cover

A network uptime promise does not fix a dead charger.

Our platform commitment is 99% network uptime, and it is a real number about a real thing — the system behind your chargers being available. It is not a promise that any particular unit is working. A charger with a failed module or a cut cable is down while the network behind it is perfectly up. VoltCare is the other half: what happens to the physical box, and how fast.

Two tiers

The difference is whether labour is in it.

Both tiers replace parts. Only one of them sends somebody. Which you want depends on whether you have an electrician you already call, or would rather not have to find one.

Tier one · parts

VoltCare Exchange

Zero-downtime advance exchange: a failed covered unit is replaced rather than queued behind a parts order for repair.

  • The replacement ships on the failure, not after a diagnosis queue
  • One charge per charger for the term — no annual invoice, and no per-incident parts bill on a covered exchange
  • Runs from delivery, per charger
  • Labour and onsite work are not included — that is the Response tier
$499 per charger · three-year term A five-year term is available — priced on request. Level 2: Tap-N-Charge or EVS QC-910.
Tier two · parts and labour

VoltCare Response

Everything above, plus the repair labour. A failure becomes a call you make rather than a contractor you have to go and find.

  • Covers replacement parts and repair labour on the covered equipment
  • Runs concurrently with the manufacturer warranty, not on top of it
  • Transferable with the equipment on written notice
  • Billed once for the full term on a purchase order — there is no annual invoice to chase
$449 per charger, per year Quoted over a term and billed once for it. Level 2: Tap-N-Charge or EVS QC-910.

Level 2 pricing, per charger. Fast charging is quoted separately — a DC cabinet carries a different parts cost and a different labour call, and the programs on top-end equipment run materially higher. Coverage is governed by the VoltCare program terms in effect on the order date.

Why it is separate

Two different promises, priced separately on purpose.

If a vendor gives you one number covering both, they quoted you the easier one

Network uptime is the system: sessions start, cards clear, the dashboard answers, the monitoring is watching. We commit to 99%, and that number is ours to hold because the system is ours to run. Hardware failure is a different event with a different fix — a module, a cable, a screen — and no percentage on a software contract has ever replaced one.

That is why they are two lines rather than one. If you have ever had a charger sit dead for months while a network dashboard reported itself healthy, you already know which of the two was missing. How the uptime commitment works →

What coverage does

  • Replaces a failed covered unit on advance exchange
  • Carries the parts cost for covered failures
  • Carries the repair labour, on the Response tier
  • Runs per charger, from delivery, for a fixed term
  • Moves with the equipment if you sell the property

What it does not

  • Cover damage from vehicles, vandalism or weather — that is your property insurance, and it is worth checking the stalls are on the policy
  • Cover the electrical service, the conduit or anything upstream of the unit
  • Extend the manufacturer warranty — Response runs concurrently with it
  • Include consumables or damage from use outside the equipment's rating

The honest version: most chargers do not fail, and the ones that do tend to fail early or after a long service life. Coverage is a decision about what a dead stall costs you for the weeks it would otherwise take — which on a hotel or a retail lot is usually more than the coverage, and on a quiet site may not be.

Coverage is quoted with the equipment.
