You mean like trying to drive through Germany in an electric car and having multiple standards/vendors for the chargers each with their own app, no cash, no maestro or credit card option. Especially funny when in an area with poor mobile reception (basically rendering the charger somewhat useless).

Having these competing non-standards is a pita for customers as well as for adoption. I would think that it would be the same for jwo.

So far those EV chargers are mostly funded by government incentives and store owners trying to attract rich clients.

When the EV charger industry gets cutthroat competitive on the service itself, the requirements to use an app will probably vanish because they don't want you to pass on their charger just because of the friction of signing up.
