The problem here is one of someone not doing their research, electric charging challenges, and apparently not knowing how maps work. Is CCS charging unreliable today? Yes, compared to gas station or Tesla Super Chargers... CCS has a ways to go. They are the weak link. The author doesn't discuss ANYTHING positive, like how its super easy to have a fully charged vehicle all the time because you charge at home overnight. This was just a rant on a few specific points. Speaking of, plugshare? Is very handy and very decent. Yes, sometimes chargers are hidden away in slightly odd locations, but plugshare has generally had VERY accurate maps. Zoom in and you will see the pins on the map on are on a specific side of the map, or in a very certain location of the parking lot - and in reality that's where the chargers are. The descriptions also say things like "I-80 exit 156. Four stations along the side of the building.". And the comments will include useful statements like "April 21, 2023 - Still only one (Amelia) of the four is working.". Do you want to read sub-optimal news like that? No, but at least you can plan accordingly. Also also, Last road trip I did in my Tesla Model Y (about 250mi each way), I stopped more for food/drink/bathroom/etc than I did for charging. Yes, I probably could have drive the entire way (one way) on an ICE vehicle without stopping for gas, where I did have to stop for a charge... but that was an extra 10mn or so. Wooptydo. Keep in mind that during the average week (of non-road tripping) I stop at a gas station exactly never, so I'd say I still stop less with an EV overall. And yes, if you a doing a lot of long road trips. Going places a little more off the grid. Or generally hate stopping because you're ok peeing in a bottle... then please stick with ICE for now. EV's are still in the early adopter phase and they don't work great for everyone. Apartment dwellers are, for example, very hit or miss (if their garage doesn't have EV charging, it's not a great experience).
