The Juice Index · Pacific Northwest & Mountain West
Public EV charging,
honestly reported.
The directory that tells you which charger actually works, what it costs, and what to do when the one you planned on is broken. Seven states. Every major network. Updated nightly.
Charging Networks
All networks →Pricing, connectors, and honest reliability assessments for every major US charging network.
The most reliable public charging network in the US by a wide margin. Uptime consistently above 99% at Supercharger V3 and V4 sites.
Significantly improved from its troubled 2019–2022 period, but still trails Tesla on uptime. Reliability now acceptable at most highway stations.
Reliability is highly variable and depends on individual station hosts. Urban Level 2 is generally solid. DC fast charging is slower than EA or EVgo.
Moderate reliability. Urban-focused network with improving uptime, but thinner rural coverage than EA. Better than EA's nadir, worse than Tesla.
EV Charging Guides
All guides →Plain-English answers to the questions every EV driver actually has.
What DC fast charging actually is, how fast it charges, which connectors it uses, and what it costs compared to Level 2 — without the jargon.
Free EV charging exists — but less of it than you might hope. Here is where it actually is, how to find it, and what the real limits are.
Current 2026 Supercharger pricing, idle fees, non-Tesla rates, and how to calculate what a charging stop will actually cost before you plug in.

NEVI Tracker
Every NEVI Station, Start to Finish
Federal NEVI funding is rebuilding highway charging across the region. We track every station from grant award to ribbon-cutting — funded, permitted, under construction, live. If a project slips, you'll read it here first.
