The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) hinges on the reliability of charging infrastructure. Organizations like ChargeX Consortium are developing industry standards, while government initiatives like the NEVI Formula Program in the US are mandating uptime requirements for federally funded charging stations. Technological advancements in remote monitoring and predictive maintenance are also playing a key role.
