According to a study released earlier this week, over 27% of all electric vehicle charging stations in the San Francisco Bar area are non-functioning, bringing forward a major issue that may push back further public adaptation of electric cars in California in the coming years.

Actually, they won’t shock anyone
Did they ever work or is this a new scam ,fake chargers
I’ve read commentary that people have offered up, that they
think it’s a great idea to destroy each site’s ability to
charge.
I don’t know if that is what is going on. I have a hard time
thinking Lefties would want that, but who knows. There are a
lot of bottom feeders who are Lefty, and they just love
screwing anything they can up.
Store fronts, businesses, couples, people sitting in cars...
It doesn’t take many rotten eggs before you can’t find a
dozen you’d like to buy.
Street addicts probably just cut off the long thick copper charging cables to sell for scrap metal.
Surely there's a legislative fix for this little problem.
I’ve seen these at toll road plazas on Ohio, for example, and wondered how much it costs a traveller to charge up and how long it takes. Anyone?
Depends on how much juice the charger has.
A Tesla takes a couple days to charge on 110 volt house current, but a 440v hi amp “supercharger” gives you a good amount in an hour.
There was a recent article World’s Fastest Electric Car Charger Installed in Norway. Touted 15 minutes to charge the car. I wonder if in the fine print it acknowledges the damage done to the overall life of the battery.
Imagine how horrible things would be if everyone was using them. If you think rolling blackouts are bad..
Yea, a couple million little 50KW home chargers running at night when the solar is off ought to put a dent in the power grid.
“Dear mom...send more money”
For Ohio, it looks like $0.43 per kWh. (about 3 times what I pay for fairly high cost electricity at home) with a charge of $0.40 a minute after the battery is full and it quits charging (with a 10 minute grace period to unplug and move your car.) In Texas, they charge by the minute rather than by kWh.

I’ve read that electric vehicles are projected to need a 3% per year increase in US electrical generation.
But it doesn’t appear that this is being planned for.
They can’t even handle the air conditioners from a shrinking population in california at night. EV mandate is going nowhere.
Or better yet, an executive order
Nice double entendre!
The other 5% made it to their destination
It would be nice if the government allowed the free market to work it’s magic and noodle out the problems with EV’s instead of giving away our tax dollars to support this scam.
