    Coming soon: credit card readers on fast chargers that never seem to work and ultimately result in having to download an app or use a charging pass/card anyway.

      If that happens the law should require providing free charging. No convenient payment, no income from charging. Watch the credit card readers magically get fixed within hours.

        I just had one at an Applegate Electric charger in CT, and it’s the only charger failure I’ve encountered. But it’s fairly common and well-reported on, as the credit card readers are often provided by a different company than the charger, and sometimes rely on unreliable cellular connections. Maybe it’s better in Belgium, idk 🤷‍♂️

        That’s actually the only failure I have ever personally experienced on an EA charger. I don’t know how that’s possible but the card reader wouldn’t work but the charger worked fine once initiated from my phone

        Yup. Been filling gasoline using CC for over a decade, probably only once it didn’t work. Out of a thousand.
