I've driven EVs since 2013 across several states and I've never once encountered a functioning public charging station in the US that has a credit card reader and does not require payment and/or access via an app. I'm all in favor of it, and I understand they technically exist, but perhaps your specific locality requires that? It's in no way my experience.
- fullstop 1y agoThere's an EVGo station near me which works with a credit card reader. Since my car supports plug and charge on that network, I used that.
- vel0city 1y agoI've driven EVs in the US across several states since 2021 and I've run across several dozen DCFC that accepted nothing but a credit card reader.

(I should note that I have occasionally encountered charging stations that had integrated credit card readers, but they have all been out of service.)
