Study finds more than a quarter of charging stations were nonfunctional

A new study found that more than one out of four public charging stations in the Bay Area were nonfunctional when tested. 

The dataset is based on 678 chargers at 181 stations in the Bay Area:

A total of 181 open public DCFC EV charging stations and 678 EVSEs with CCS connectors were identified in the 9 counties of the Greater Bay Area and visited between February 12, 2022 and March 7, 2022.

The results were disappointing. According to the study, more than a fourth of all chargers were found to be nonfunctional when tested. The chargers tested in the study were primarily operated by EVgo and Electrify America.
