A Washington EV charger went end-of-life. What can actually be repaired, migrated, retrofitted or replaced?
Aging public and commercial charging sites can fail for very different reasons: discontinued software, missing boards or cables, network migration, connectivity failures, vandalism, electrical limits or equipment that has simply reached end of life. FindMyPart helps separate those paths and widen the search before a site owner assumes full replacement is the only answer.
Management platform or network support ended.
Cable, board, reader, controller or other component is unavailable.
Repair, donor, compatible part or retrofit needs evidence.
Electrical capacity, security or economics may make full replacement the rational path.
Washington is actively replacing aging charging infrastructure.
Seattle City Light has active 2026 fast-charger replacement projects, including locations where existing equipment is offline and replacement parts are no longer manufactured. The same network previously had to migrate away from Shell Recharge's discontinued Shell Sky software. That combination is exactly the class of problem FindMyPart is designed to investigate: what still works, what is unsupported, what can be sourced, and where a repair path should give way to a replacement path.
FindMyPart is an independent sourcing and research service. It is not affiliated with Seattle City Light, Shell Recharge, ChargePoint, or the State of Washington.
