Rideshare drivers in Las Vegas say Waymo autonomous vehicles are blocking Electrify America charging stations for up to 90 minutes, forcing them to wait extended periods at sites including one off Flamingo and Maryland Parkway. Waymo confirmed it uses public infrastructure alongside a depot with charging, stating it tries to stagger usage and builds dedicated charging as operations mature in each city.
Why it matters: The complaints highlight network capacity pressure as fleet operators scale without dedicated infrastructure, a planning challenge for CPOs balancing public access with commercial fleet demand at high utilisation sites.
