Negative news makes better clickbait. And this journalist and outlet probably have long given up on anything resembling serious journalism. I clicked on the author's name to get a list of titles. And you are right. Not great. To put it mildly.
Tesla is most of the EV market in California (80% or so). So are their chargers. Most of those work fine of course. And all of those fine chargers are now becoming available to non Tesla cars. Problem solved. A minority of chargers (i.e. the ones not provided by Tesla), are a bit problematic. Some companies are improving what they do. Competition tends to bring out the best in them.
If you are holding onto your gas guzzler because you are a bit suffering from (range) anxiety, you might want to consider what will happen to your favorite local gas stations when double digit percentages of their customers buy EVs and stop buying petrol. I'll sketch what will happen for you. It's just simple economic reasoning:
As the number of chargers goes up (like by 2025-2030), the number of still operating gas stations will go down. The least profitable ones will go out of business first. Anything remote and rural will be at risk sooner rather than later. Basically any areas where it is currently still challenging to find a charger will also be the first where long struggling petrol stations will start closing doors first.
That's happening a lot sooner than people realize. All the people spending lots on fuel right now will be switching sooner rather than later. Commercial fleets, people that drive a lot, etc. All of them are switching to EVs. In a few short years very few people driving for work will be buying petrol or diesel. Technically it's cheaper now already and it's only going to get cheaper from now. Some companies may put off making the switch for some time but we're talking years, not decades. This will be over by the early 2030s.
It's the small users that will drag their heels for a bit longer. Decades even maybe. But they don't buy a lot of fuel and most of the fuel business is commercial traffic. So, logically the petrol business is going to decline a lot more rapidly than the EV sales percentages suggest. Another logical consequence of increasing petrol station scarcity is people raising their prices as it becomes harder to find a working petrol station. That's just market forces kicking in. You're more than welcome to drive 50 miles to the next station also selling fuel at a premium. Oh wait, you are nearly out of gas. 10$ per gallon it is for you! That's going to speed things up further of course.
