The top three challenges for EV drivers are availability of chargers, cost of charging and chargepoint reliability, says a new report to coincide with the fifth World EV day today.

Guess what: * 55% of the failed EV charging sessions are due to connectivity * Most of the EV charge points use cellular links * 20%+  of EV drivers using public charging stations experienced charging failures in the end of Q1 2023 This what we learn in this article quoting the Electrification Institute’s studies and a J.D. Power report. Thanks John Voelcker for this summary. Digging into the market, I have also learnt that those cellular issues were caused by the fuzzy information given (on purpose???) to CPOs from their cellular providers. This misleads CPOs to think that some key words (like 'national-operator', 'multi-operator', 'roaming', 'wide coverage'…) will give them a solid connectivity able to support the critical requirements of their charge-points. Bottom line, it looks urgent to increase the CPOs’ awareness on resilient cellular connectivity to improve EV charging infrastructure.

The Increase In EV Charging Stations Comes With Obstacles & Solutions

Fleet managers are becoming plug-in professionals as they master EV charging speeds. Fleet management expertise will be key to efficient and cost effective charging as more drivers go electric. https://lnkd.in/dKRG5dGd #electricvehicles #charginginfrastructure #fleetmanagers

Public EV fast chargers are growing in the U.S. According to CleanTechnica the number of public fast chargers grew by 7.6% in Q1 2024. That's nearly 8,200 charging stations! 

While there’s still work to do on EV infrastructure it is good to see there was a 52% growth in high-powered chargers last year, mostly coming from devices capable of charging at over 100kW and a 145% increase in EV charging hubs - locations with more than six rapid or ultra-rapid chargers https://buff.ly/4aMfMqT #evcharging #fleetev
