This is the best summary I could come up with:


The challenges included needing multiple attempts in order to start or end a charging session as well as problems completing payment through an app or credit card reader.

There is no single, comprehensive strategy for installation and maintenance of this country's charging infrastructure, something Joanna Kyriazis, director of public affairs at Clean Energy Canada, says should change.

Speaking to Marketplace, Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault pointed to the relatively small sample size of the test, but acknowledged "there are problems.

But George Iny, director at the Automobile Protection Association, stressed that adequate charging infrastructure must be in place to ensure a smooth transition to a zero-emission future.

After striking out at four rapid-charging locations, she found herself stranded in a seedy motel with her young daughter while her husband slept in their Leaf as it slow-charged in an empty parking lot overnight.

Flo responded by saying it has a team that monitors and resolves issues swiftly, and Ivy told Marketplace it is committed to improving its processes, including updating its app to report the status of its charging stations.
