Could be a combination of things: more robust nozzle design vs CCS, the gas station is manned and has security cameras. I would happily carry the cable on trips where I planned to stop and charge if it meant the L3 was guaranteed to work. Anecdotal for me as well. EVgo was so unreliable that I just stopped driving my EV for any trip that required charging. Almost every visit I’d have to try 2-3 chargers, hold the plug in or slightly bias it up or down to get past some comms/short/? check to start charging. Usually no issues with ChargePoint L2 or L3, (it’s not the car). But there just aren’t that many around.
