I kind of feel the same, but I also wanted to try to get some data. I decided to check on Greenway, who I think is the biggest operator of charging stations in Poland - they claim they have 2500 stations. Out of the 2500, I checked the issue status of any charging location in Poland where the issues were raised 14+ days ago and I went back 60 days. Oddly, Greenway will note when there is an issue with a charger, but not when the issue is resolved. So I had to check this all manually. I looked at issues 14+ days ago because I feel that 14 days is probably about the quickest such issues are ever going to be fixed by any company.
From 14+ days ago and going back 60 days, I noted 18 charging locations impacted (one or more plugs not operational/lower charging speeds). Of those 18, 13 issues had been resolved and 5 issues were yet to be resolved. Both the quantity of issues and quantity of resolved issues seems quite reasonable to me.

Yes, this is mostly a US issue, because we got stuck with Volkswagen for the majority of our CCS1 fast charging infrastructure and they suck. We should have just taken the fines from Volkswagen and paid Tesla to build their network even faster.
Is this a US issue? I haven’t had a problem with broken charges in Central Europe.
