A licensed forensic electrical engineer who has led EV charging engineering, for counsel and carriers handling charger failures, installation defects, and EV infrastructure disputes.
Party names are what the check runs against. Nothing privileged is requested.
Ohm Forensics provides EV charging expert witness services in litigation, arbitration, and insurance claims. EV charging failures usually come down to a small set of questions: was the equipment defective, was it designed and installed to code, was the electrical service adequate for the load, and did protection and grounding perform as required.
The engineer on these matters has designed standard and fast EV charging projects and led engineering for an EV charging provider, so the analysis reflects how chargers are specified, permitted, installed, and maintained in practice.
Standard and fast charging stations, cables, connectors, and supporting electrical equipment, with defect, installation, and misuse theories tested against the evidence.
Electrical capacity, wire and breaker sizing, connections, and compliance with the electrical code and local requirements.
Shock incidents at chargers, including grounding, bonding, and ground fault protection.
Electrical service upgrades, site preparation work, and coordination with the utility.
Whether the engineer, contractor, or installer met the standard of care for EV charging design and installation.
Disputes between property owners, installers, equipment suppliers, and charging providers over equipment and installation quality.
Drawings, load calculations, permit sets, and inspection records.
Charger and network session logs, fault codes, and maintenance tickets.
Examination of the charging station, wiring, connections, breakers, and grounding.
Testing of failed components through an outside independent laboratory under an agreed protocol.
The work is led by a licensed Professional Engineer with an MBA and more than twenty years in power systems. That career was spent designing and reviewing the kinds of systems that end up in dispute: utility substations from 4 kV to 345 kV, utility-scale solar and battery storage plants, EV charging installations, and medium voltage distribution for large data centers, along with protection and coordination, fault current, and arc flash studies.
The engineering practice is still active. Opinions rest on current codes, current equipment, and current utility practice, which matters when opposing counsel asks when the expert last designed the thing being testified about.
Yes. The engineer has designed and reviewed standard and fast charging installations for commercial, multifamily, and fleet sites.
Often, yes. Comparing the damage pattern with the charger's fault logs, the installation details, and the electrical service usually points to the equipment, the installation, or the use. Where the evidence does not separate them, the report says so.
The charging station and its cable, the breaker and wiring that feed it, and the charger's session and fault logs from the network provider, which may be retained only for a limited time.
No engagement, no cost. If we are conflicted or this is not the right discipline for your question, we will say so.
