Yep. There are many CCS chargers that have been broken for years for various reasons. Reasons such as the older ChargePoints were owned by the property owners and after they are out of warranty, they are too expensive to repair.my point is that when people talk about cost to build out this infrastructure they never mention cost to maintain and operate it.
Others are by federal grants, that cover the cost of equipment and installation, but no money for maintenance.
Other reasons as well.
I have yet to even see one broken CCS charger that has been repaired in this area. But a lot of new ones are being installed in various areas.
Tesla is the only one who does a great job on maintenance. Out here at least, cannot find any that are broken. And there are many. I think their charging network is what helped Tesla become so popular.
