"You’re ready for your first long road trip with your new electric vehicle. But
there are nagging questions in your mind. “What if I can’t find an available
charging station when I need it?” “What if the charger doesn’t work?”
A new concern is overtaking the once-dominant “range anxiety”, the fear of your
vehicle running out of charge before reaching a charging station. “Charging
anxiety” now arises from the uncertainty of finding an available and functional
charging station when needed.
With electric vehicle sales surging, the reliability of the network of chargers
is no longer a potential problem on the horizon. It’s now an urgent matter.
In the United States, the world’s second-largest electric vehicle market, up to
20% of charging attempts fail. The most common cause is charging equipment
malfunctions.
But what if we told you we already have a blueprint for reliable charging
stations? It’s right before our eyes, in our trusty petrol stations. We can
draw on the lessons of the petrol network to develop a charging network that’s
ready for mass adoption of electric vehicles."
