As already mentioned if its a private vehicle, then owner will likley just let things go till protective devices trip and they cant get car charged or there is a pop as the lead fails.

If its a company vehicle, then the vehicle and its lead are part of the company assets and as per HASAWA and general work supplied equipment needs to be "Maintained" by the duty holder. Now that to me can be a simple induction, memo, info seet to users of the EV's that before using any charging lead it appears to be in good working condition, no frayed/damaged bits, just exact same as the "User" checks that are meant to happen when employees use electrical equipment. There then should be some form of "Formal" inspection and test, and carried out by a competent person and results recorded.

For high powered chargers where the charging cables are tethered, then thats down to the owner/duty holder of the charging equipment to make sure those cables are maintained.

I think what Im saying is to do nothing and not inspect those elads formally or have written procedures for maintaining them, then the fleet operator could get into a bad place if the user has an electric shock or worse.
