    What Makes EV Charging Stations Fail?

    A new study sheds some light on a main concern for EV drivers: What's
    causing problems with dead public EV charging stations?
    ...
    ...
    Based on network data monitored across the United States this year,
    the most common reasons for failed EV charging sessions are problems
    with:

    station connectivity: 55 percent
    internal station faults or errors: 38 percent
    charging connector or cable: 4 percent
    credit-card reader: 1 percent
    display screen: 1 percent

    CONNECTIVITY: The data suggests that more than half all charging
    failures come from a station not being able to connect to its network
    for authentication.

    STATION INTERNALS: The next failure category, "internal faults or
    errors," covers software and perhaps some hardware failures. Many EV
    drivers have posted photos of non-working charging stations that have
    seemingly frozen in the middle of rebooting, including what looks
    suspiciously like Windows code on their screens. This is likely a host
    of different issues, each of which has to be addressed separately, for different stations from different makers. It's complicated.

    It
    is impossible to depend on charging anything. It is like phone
    charging stations. It could go out and nobody services
    the thing. If so there need to be somebody within "walking
    distance" to service the thing, with all problems considered.
