California electric vehicle owners are highlighting two major hurdles that could undermine the shift to EVs: widespread charger malfunctions and persistent power outages. Many report unreliable charging infrastructure, with broken or non-functional stations leaving them stranded, while others face disruptions from grid failures that leave chargers unusable.

The challenges raise questions about whether current infrastructure can support the growing demand for EVs without significant improvements.
