I've been on the forum for a while and I haven't seen this yet.

When someone rolls up to a charger and it's dead, is it possible to have everyone in the area know this? Reporting it to the mother ship is good, but in 15 minutes someone else might roll up needing it.

Is there a way to have the nav systems show it as being there, but dead?

Second Plugshare. Esp. if something is out I report immediately.

Many times the data connection is balky but the power supply is just fine. On ground reports are best.

Yup a third for
https://www.plugshare.com/

Many networks actually monitor PlugShare and post reports to it indicating that it will be repaired or even has been fixed.

As an example, one near me:

OK. Just loaded Plugshare. There are notes similar to reviews in chronological order. I poked one near me and found a note on 5/25 stating that one of the connectors in the plug is broken and reported.

Thanks.

Car? No. waiting.....

Also recommend reporting it directly to the company that owns/runs the charger.
