All these apps are just a symptom of there being oxygen wasters employed that rely on “growth & engagement” to justify their careers.

There is no reason an EV charger can’t have a card terminal to take payment like all gas pumps and call it a day, except these people would be out of a job if they no longer have any "engagement" to report on or user data to trade.



Absolutely, but only very few highway chargers here also accept bank cards and they also operate badly, some have only crapplications, some have app+card but the card tend to be costly.

I call this just surveillance capitalism...
