Millions of EV Drivers Left Stranded at Broken Chargers — New Site Tracks Real-Time Outages Across All 50 States
USEVChargingStations.info launches free nationwide tracker showing which EV chargers are actually working — powered by live U.S. government data from the Department of Energy.
LOS ANGELES, CA — You planned the trip. You mapped the route. You stopped at the charger — and nothing happened.
For millions of EV drivers across the United States, this plays out every day. The charger looks fine on the map. The app says it’s available. But when you plug in, the screen blinks and you’re left standing there — 12% battery left, kid in the backseat, nowhere to go.
That’s why USEVChargingStations.info was built.
Launched this year, the site aggregates real-time EV charging station data from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Station Locator — covering all 50 states, all major networks, and every public charger in the federal database. Unlike other mapping tools, it doesn’t just show where chargers are. It shows which ones are broken.
The site currently tracks over 1,600 stations flagged as temporarily unavailable, with a national outage rate of approximately 1.9%. Internal reliability data shows Tesla Superchargers at roughly 98–99% uptime, while some networks fall as low as 72–80%.
Most EV apps show you where chargers are. USEVChargingStations.info shows you which ones actually work. If you’ve ever pulled up to a dead charger with 12% battery left, you understand why this matters.
The site features: Real-time outage data for all 50 states and U.S. territories. Network reliability scorecards comparing uptime across major providers. City and state-level broken charger pages for smarter routing. Free access — no account, no subscription, no paywall.
USEVChargingStations.info is free to use and updated weekly with fresh data from the federal Alternative Fuels Station database.
