Canada's most populous provinces are falling behind many U.S. states when it comes to building fast charging stations for electric vehicles, a CBC News analysis shows, raising questions about whether this country's infrastructure is ready for a transition to cleaner energy.

I work in this industry. The number of chargers is set to explode in the next 2 years.

An equally important number is how many of the installed chargers are functional on any given day.

In my experience, there are a lot offline for days at a time.

We don't only need to install more, we need to maintain them after install.

In my city I've noticed a few locations in parking lots of big box stores that are being prepped for what looks like a bunch of charging stations.

We recently did a road trip with our plugin hybrid and there were more chargers in reality than showed up in the apps yet.
