It will also impose an additional charge for every minute a charging car blocks a charging point. Despite the expansion of charging infrastructure, public charging points and charging on the go remain two major issues facing electric vehicle owners. Just as range anxiety was once a big problem, charging anxiety may be becoming an even bigger problem, with a recent study showing that one in five chargers in the United States are not accessible. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); Even when chargers are functioning properly, however, EV owners have another concern: overcharging. Overcharging refers to EV drivers who take up space at a charger for too long. To address this, Electrify America will begin penalizing…
