Domestic ones however are little more than an RCD and a microcontroller on a PCB driving a contactor to apply the mains to the care when the it has negotiated a suitable rate of charge, all in a weather proof box.
I suspect the EICR aspects will be to confirm that the RCD operates OK, and then then much the same as you would for a external air con or any other piece of kit that is out in the rain and vulnerable to mechanical damage.
To electrically test the EVSE part one may wish to have a lead that plugs in where the car would go to verify the earthing, and the declared current rating to the car are both correct. I'm sure someone makes an expensive adapter to do this already, but as its not my specialty I have yet to see one in the flesh. (though I have seen unofficial designs for a trick circuit that allows you to pretend to be a proper charger of arbitrary capacity.)
