Noticed this issue about 1 -1.5 years ago: at some commercial level 2 chargers I plug in the car, the charge starts, and then, within a few seconds, it stops. So basically, I cannot expect to be able to charge the car with 100% certainty if I'm out and about and stop by the first available charging station.
Has anyone had a problem like this?
Currently it's not too big of a deal as I drive only locally and charge at home. But as the battery ages, or if I go on a trip, I want to be sure that should I need to charge it, I can use any station, and not just some.
 
Are you sure the commercial stations are fully working? The car monitors what the station is supplying and if it is out of spec it will stop charging to avoid causing damage.
