The one thing that is painfully obvious to anyone who has rented an electric vehicle in a foreign country, is that charging those things is close to impossible.

Most charging networks require a specific app, that often can only be downloaded in that country's App Store. If you do manage to download the app for a network, signing up can fail because it requires a local address or phone number. Eventually, you'll find a network that does allow foreigners to sign up, but realize that their closest charger is slower and 10 miles away. Often the chargers will show up as available in the app, but actually not be functional and there is no-one at the site to help, even if it's a gas station. They'll just roll their eyes and say it's not their charger. Call the network.

At least gas you can buy with cold hard cash or by simply swiping your credit card at a gas station. No need to input your pronouns into an app.

A good example how society sometimes regresses on some fronts.
