Impact of Electric Vehicle Charging Station Reliability, Resilience, and Location on Electric Vehicle Adoption

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in 2021 directed $7.5 billion towards public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. To ensure that this funding is utilized effectively, public EV chargers must be reliable. Following surveys that demonstrate buyers concern of public EV charging station reliability, this report examines the relationships between EV station reliability, station resilience, electric grid resilience, and EV adoption, synthesizing the impacts of each to determine what works and what does not work when it comes to EV charger development.
