    This sign-up pain is real. There should be a global standard that says everyone can use a contactless debit or credit card to pay ALWAYS, and the cost rate is the same as signing up to an account.

      EU just passed a law to make chargers accepting credit card mandatory every 50km on main highways. It comes into effect in 2025. It’s a move in good direction but they really have to focus on availability as well. It’s crazy how long a charger can be out of service without anyone doing anything about it. It’s clearly an afterthought for all the companies involved.
