Public charging station reliability is a major concern among electric vehicle owners. Too often, drivers arrive at a station only to find it broken, offline, or already occupied. This creates delays, frustration, and in some cases forces drivers to completely change their travel plans. Reports of malfunctioning card readers, slow charging rates, and poor maintenance are common. The situation is even worse when stations are in remote locations, leaving no backup options nearby. Drivers complain that charging companies do not always respond quickly to maintenance requests, leaving broken stations unusable for weeks. For EV adoption to grow, improving the reliability of charging stations must be a priority. Drivers should not have to gamble on whether a station will work when they need it most. A reliable and well-maintained charging network is essential for confidence in electric mobility.
