Yeah, the amount of issues I hear about with chargers not working, and everything relying on using some app? I'm not installing a smartphone app to charge a battery! So far I'm not feeling too tempted about electric vehicles. I'll be happy to find something that avoids these shortcomings though!

It's not a technology issue, it's a service issue. If ICE cars were invented today, you'd need an app at a gas station too.
No doubt. I hope there's more pushback against that crap.
EU regulations require charging stations to accept card payments by 2027.
Nice, that's really good to hear! Hopefully other jurisdictions follow the lead there!
