Millions of EV Drivers Left Stranded at Broken Chargers - New Site Tracks Real-Time Outages Across All 50 States

You plan the trip. You check the app. You pull in. And the charger is dead.

It happens more than the EV industry likes to admit. Across the United States, roughly 1-in-50 public charging stations is offline on any given day - and for drivers who have already committed to a route, that number is not a statistic. It is a problem with real consequences: a stranded car, a missed meeting, a screaming kid in the back seat, and a creeping anxiety that maybe this whole EV thing was not the right call.

The frustration is not just the wait. It is the not-knowing. Most charger-finder apps show whether a plug exists at a location. Very few tell you whether it is actually working. A lot of drivers have learned this the hard way.

USEVChargingStations.info was built to close that gap. Launched as a free, no-login resource for American EV owners, the site pulls live data from the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center - the same federal dataset used by government agencies and major fleet operators - and surfaces it in plain English. Not buried in filters. Not paywalled. Just: here is what is near you, here is what is working, here is what is not.

The site now tracks charger outages by state and by network. ChargePoint, Blink, EV Connect, Tesla Supercharger - each network gets its own reliability score, updated weekly, based on how many of their stations are actually available versus just listed. Some networks have outage rates under 1%. Others are pushing 7%. Drivers deserve to know the difference before they plan a route.

"People switching to EVs are told it is easy. And for a lot of it, it is," said a spokesperson for the site. "But the charging infrastructure still has real gaps - and right now, there is no single place that shows you both where to charge and whether those chargers are likely to be up when you get there. That is what we are trying to fix."

In addition to live outage tracking, the site offers a growing library of practical guides: what to do when a charger fails mid-trip, which networks have the best uptime records, how to find backup options fast. There is no upsell. No subscription. The data is federal, and access to it should be too.
