Here’s how ChargePoint plans to increase EV charger reliability

To help it get there, EV charging network ChargePoint has opened a new Network Operations Center to monitor its network of more than 243,000 charging ports in North America and Europe.


It says that once the system is fully implemented, the company plans to get to nearly 100 percent uptime, up from what it says is 96 percent today.

Literally lol’d at 96% uptime

not hard to believe they are only now rolling out a central monitoring station.

How do you have a global charging network without an operations center?

I listened to Kyle on his OUT OF SPEC REVIEW and he interviewed the engineer from KEMPOWER (they make stations (mainly in Sweden). It was interesting at the techology and what they can do. From what I took away from the interview, they have an almost 100% uptime (other than when they deploy software which is OTA). They keep 2 versions of the software on the charger in case something with the new version messes it up.

I think the North American companies should reach out to them and license the technology.
