Although electric vehicles that reduce greenhouse gas emissions attract many drivers, the lack of confidence in charging services deters others. Building a reliable network of charging stations is difficult in part because it s challenging to aggregate data from independent station operators. But now, researchers reporting January 22 in the journal
