I'm getting fed up with EV chargers not working. These things should be the epitome of reliability - no moving parts, just electronics - yet they pale in comparison to the reliability of the common gas pump. There are plenty of EV chargers in my area in theory but in practice I find myself struggling to find one in working order lately. I count 13 CHAdeMO plugs that I could use but only find 4 that I know work and 8 that I know don't work right now. The other probably doesn't with my EV.
