Reading the map
Today every charging point sits at the far left. Recording of the operational status has begun, but it is still too short to support a statement. The map shows a stock whose location and technology we know — and not yet how dependable it is.
Reliability cannot be read off a location. It needs a time series: when was a charging point free, when occupied, when out of order — over months.
For part of the stock that recording has now begun: the operational status is captured hourly. But it is only a few hours long, and the method derives the half-life from the history itself — that takes months.
That is why nothing glows today, and why there is no ranking on this page. A figure without a basis would be worse than no figure at all.
What can be measured today
The master data is complete. What matters is the identifier a charging point uses to report its operational status — the EVSE ID. Without it, a charging point stays statistically invisible.
The same European law, the same deadline, the same obligation. The difference does not lie in the matter itself but in how a country keeps its records — and it decides whether reliability can be measured at all.
