By "The station does show in all maps" do you mean google/bing/apple maps? They're usually pretty good with removing reported places. If a listed place cannot offer services for weeks I wouldn't hesitate editing it to temporarily closed.

Usually car manufacturers license some third-party charge point dataset. They don't have an online review component (like Plugshare for example) so the car can't know that the charger it's currently navigating to is most likely broken. This will result in a shitty experience for inexperienced or non tech savvy EV drivers.

Tesla on the other hand knows exactly what's happening on their Superchargers and share that data with their vehicles.
