MOST electric car owners will have to regularly interact with the public chargepoint network, especially if they lack a home charger or do a lot of long journeys.
This can be stressful, though, thanks to a dearth of chargers in some locations, high demand in others and reliability issues. Even if you manage to get plugged into a working unit, you could face slower-than-advertised charging speeds, high prices or a lack of amenities. Read on for a ranking of the best charging networks, as voted by our readers, to help you plan your next EV trip.
