DC fast-charging is the gold standard for electric vehicles, but providers of the service—other than the better-established Tesla network—haven't got the user experience down quite yet.
It's no secret among electric-car drivers that the public DC fast-charging experience, Tesla aside, is nowhere near as reliable as it should be. If you arrived at a gas station that had eight separate hoses and only one provided gasoline, would you grade it 100%?California's plans for accountability were flagged in the below tweet by Loren McDonald, CEO of the EV and EV charging analysis and consulting firm EV Adoption. He highlighted a response by the Energy Commission to a letter it received from California State Assemblyman Phil Ting, who has proposed state legislation on charging reliability.
california can send those same LibDems to repackage their leagueofcities, NatlGovsAssoc, and WhiteHouse.
25 years ago, I would agree that California might come up with a solution to a problem like this. Not now. California's solutions now are demonetization, taxes, fines and over burdensome regulations costing millions. They should hire Tesla to fix this.
The cars look nice..
The EV industry would be way better served if there were clear definitions of what is a supercharger. Fast charges are imperative in long range drives and several states still need to develop the charging capability.
But who’s making California accountable?
