The whole paying for charging thing needs to die a painful and fiery death. I have a universal (money) charging card in my wallet - it was issued by my bank. There should be nothing else required to pay for charging a car up. Same with parking. Most car parks around here accept only coins (and I stopped carrying coins about 5 years ago) or pay-by-phone, which always charges more than the advertised parking price and is usually conveniently located in a mobile phone dead spot. Parking meters used to accept contactless card payments - what gives?
