Nah. When I am taking a road trip, the last thing I want to do register an account for some random charging network I'm never going to use again (because I'm in a different part of the world). I just want to pay for my power and move on, just like I can pay for food or anything else on the trip.

When I am at home, I plug my car in and it goes on my monthly power bill. This is where the convenience matters.

If it's an international network, you'll probably use it again and it's probably not "some random" charging network. Agree about home convenience though.
