I've owned an electric since 2013, never run into a down charging station. Early on, I'd run into single chargers that were occupied, but that's it.
Not saying it's not possible to have a broken station, just never hit it. But I, like most people, charge at home, 95% of the time.
Where are you located where there is perfect charging station maintenance for the previous 10 years?
I'm not saying it isn't possible that you've never encountered a broken station, but I've had an EV for only a few months now and encounter malfunctioning stations on nearly every trip to a DC fast charger. It usually isn't that every single station is broken, but if there are 4 stations, 1-2 of them will be out of service.
