The article does not break down the 65K public chargers or the added chargers by charging speed.
In our city (~100k) alone I have spotted over 10 chargers that have been defective for at least half a year, some even longer than 1 year. And that's only those that I regularly drive to.
As long as there are no requirements to actually service them and have them in a working condition, the raw numbers of installed chargers are meaningless
Is a requirement really necessary? I'm not aware that any requirement exists to keep your petrol station running (well, maybe there is one). And I'm sure it's not necessary to have one, because if your station does not work you go out of business very fast.
So why are these companies still in business if it's profitable to have non-working charging stations?
Pretty sure the government pays them the cost of installing the charger + profit. So they're just in the business of installing chargers.
While I don't think anybody pays you to just build gas stations so you'll need to operate it to recover your initial investment.
