There are so many charging piles, but my electric car cannot be charged, what should I do?

[Macaron1]

unbelievably, I traveled to Florida on February 1st, but at the charging station, I left my car and went to a nearby convenience store to buy tape. Then I heard a loud bang, the charging stopped, the car wouldn't start. I found Ford and they just replaced the battery and bumper, but it was a huge waste of time. I love my EV, but I'm worried that something will go wrong with my next charge and it will ruin my trip, what should I do?

You had a failure while charging and you got a battery replacement. How was it a waste of time?

It sounds like you haven't tried to charge since, out of fear it will break again - what guidance are you looking for?

It's good to know that Ford was able to replace the battery and bumper for you. While charging infrastructure has come a long way, there are still occasional glitches that can happen, especially if the charging equipment is not properly maintained or if there are compatibility issues between your car and the charging station. Some car news portals like https://zumroad.com/automotive offer reviews and ratings of charging stations in different areas, which could be helpful in planning your trip. One thing you could consider doing is researching charging stations ahead of time to ensure that you have the right kind of connector and that the station is compatible with your car.
