Authors Abstract

Twenty DC fast chargers and amenities are available, but the most important detail is that everything works.

The move to electrification has hit a snag. The charging infrastructure hasn't quite lived up to the needs of those with EVs. The Inflation Reduction Act requires that charging stations have a 97% uptime to qualify for government funds. According to a plethora of studies, approximately 20% (or more) of stations encountered by EV drivers have some sort of issue that results in a failed session.

Of those charging companies, Electrify America has become a bit of a punching bag. Its relatively large footprint in the DC fast-charging sector means that its stations are visited more often than others and its issues become far more visible.
