"Public charging remains a significant barrier to electric vehicle ownership, yet improved real-time data on charger availability could boost sales by 8% by 2030."
"The study highlights that only 33.2% of charging stations provide real-time data, which must improve to enhance user experience and broaden EV adoption."
"Many EV buyers face frustration due to crowded charging stations, suggesting that transparency in real-time data could significantly influence their purchasing decisions."
"Currently, real-time information for some major charging networks is fragmented, highlighting a need for integration and improved data sharing to assist EV travelers."
The article explores challenges faced by electric vehicle (EV) owners, primarily focusing on public charging availability. A new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research indicates that better access to real-time charging data could potentially boost EV sales by 8% by 2030. Researchers analyzed data over a six-month period on DC fast chargers across major U.S. highways. They found that only 33.2% of charging stations report real-time data, which represents a barrier for consumers. Major networks like Tesla and Electrify America contribute to this limitation by not fully integrating with third-party apps, suggesting the need for improvements in data sharing for smoother EV adoption.
