If you want to create a user-friendly experience, how about making it so that I just plug my car in and it charges? No phones, no apps, no access cards. The charger recognizes my car, the car has the billing info, done. Sigh. It was such a massive ball drop when the plug standard insisted on having the plug + car detection of the plug being inserted work in all conditions, but then failed to account for the simple fact that billing also needs to be solved. It's like they thought of it as someone inserting a gas nozzle, or that the electricity would be free. And now we've rolled out how many of these? |

So far, only Tesla really supports this at scale (and unfortunately it's proprietary so we can't really use it).
However, the coming wave of EVs will finally support ISO15118, which is a global standard that brings this experience to any EV. We'll support it as soon as there's a meaningful population of vehicles out there with the car-side support. Come to our labs in a month or two for a preview ;)
