EV Charging Is More Stable Than Ever — Regardless Of Media Reports - CleanTechnica

The article from CleanTechnica highlights significant improvements in the stability and convenience of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, particularly in early 2025. Historically, EV charging was fraught with issues such as broken chargers, incompatible adapters, and blocked charging spots, especially for non-Tesla vehicles. However, recent advancements—including the deployment of more reliable charging ports, the adoption of Tesla’s North American Charging Standard with improved plug designs, and the rapid expansion of public charging stations (over 1.3 million new points globally in 2024)—have greatly enhanced the EV charging experience. These developments have reduced failure rates and minimized downtime, making charging more efficient and accessible. Despite these technical and infrastructural gains, public interest in EV adoption in the U.S. appears to be waning. A recent survey found that only 16% of U.S. adults are likely to purchase a fully electric vehicle next, the lowest level since 2019, while skepticism and reluctance have increased. This
