EV charging platform Monta has launched a system to rank the real-world performance of EV chargers across Europe and UK.

Based on tens of thousands of live charging sessions, this ranking evaluates alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) models deployed across Europe and North America.

It offers a data-driven benchmark for operational reliability, energy delivery, and user satisfaction across the EV charging ecosystem.

The EV Charge Points Performance Score, developed using live platform data and driver feedback, was designed to provide charge point operators (CPOs) and hardware manufacturers with the most accurate, transparent and user-focused view of charger reliability to date.

Casper Rasmussen, CEO and co-founder of Monta, said: “The electrification of mobility will only succeed if trust in the charging experience becomes absolute.

“Hardware availability is not enough; what matters is how chargers perform in the real world, every day, for every driver.

“This ranking is our way of anchoring the industry around shared performance standards, grounded in data and designed to improve outcomes for all stakeholders: manufacturers, operators and users.”

The launch comes as Monta reveals troubling gaps between reported uptime and actual session success rates.

While average uptime figures for many DC chargers are commonly cited at 97% or above, Monta’s platform data shows that only 90% of charging sessions across Europe result in a successful energy transfer, meaning drivers complete their charge without interruption or error.

These figures suggest a disconnect between how the industry reports performance and what EV drivers actually experience at the charge point.
