Does an available charger on a map mean I can rely on it?
Availability is a snapshot, while arrival may be later. How should map information fit into a route plan?
EVVerity explains
The answer
Treat availability as current information
A displayed available connector is not necessarily a reservation or a prediction of its state when you arrive. Confirm access hours and compatibility, check current information when practical and keep a reachable alternative. Do not reduce the route reserve to zero because a map marker looks reassuring.
