This is ridiculous and unnecessary.

I can always pay cash or swipe a card at a gas pump, why not the same at an EV charger? This is something that doesn't need to be changed.

I prefer plugging my EV in and having my card on file charged automatically when the charging session completes. Only applies when traveling and using fast DC/Superchargers, as most of the time I charge at free home/residential or public level 2 chargers.

This is similar to how my toll transponder operates: depletes balance, dings card on file when drops below a certain balance. Can be used for tolls, parking lot payments, etc.

I agree. I’d much rather use a credit card reader and/or Apple/Google Pay.
