My experience was:
- evgo was decent, but had limited capacity (usually 2 L3 per location)
- chargepoint was usually pretty decent, but mostly was an L2 charger network
- blink was L3, but their chargers were ALWAYS broken.
that was 3 years ago, and switching to a tesla changed a few things:
- the range of the car was higher
- superchargers were in more locations
- had more stalls per location
- were faster at charging
- were more reliable
- one small detail worth mentioning - the other systems had payment networks that were frequently part of the problem - either preventing charging, or having you fiddle with things, or calling in to manually start things
