>> The main issue is that the EV charging stations all have bullshit social networks attached to them, and therefore do not reliably accept credit card payments. This I totally agree with. Most EV charging stations are owned by middlemen running networks. The end game will be level 3 chargers at every highway rest stop and McDonalds, where they will simply take cash or credit card payment and charge while you eat and use the restroom.
