Synopsis

The shortage of accessible, reliable, and user-friendly EV chargers contributes to range anxiety and remains a significant concern for those hesitant to adopt electric vehicles. According to a recent AAA report, 56% of respondents identified unreliable charging stations as their primary obstacle to making the switch. The takeaway is clear—we must enhance the EV charging experience.

  • Putting accessibility at the heart of planning and bearing in mind user abilities and the location of chargers to enable lone customers to feel safe
  • Ensuring chargers are easy to locate, operate, and maintain can significantly improve user confidence and encourage more people to transition to electric vehicles
  • Planning to avoid poorly maintained stations, electrical faults and vandalism, promoting a safer experience for all users
  • Simplifying payment processes, standardizing connectors, and offering real-time availability updates can make the charging process more convenient and less stressful.
