Challenges of Electric Vehicle Infrastructure

The challenges facing electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure are becoming increasingly apparent, particularly as users embark on road trips along established routes. For example, on a recent journey through Michigan, a team encountered significant difficulties locating functioning fast chargers, raising concerns about the viability of fully electric road travel. This experience highlights a broader issue of range anxiety, where potential EV owners hesitate to invest due to fears about insufficient charging options. Despite the intention to improve infrastructure, progress has been painfully slow, with only a fraction of planned charging stations being built, leaving many users frustrated.
