I don’t have an EV yet, but I already refuse (prefuse? pre-refuse?) to use an app to charge my car which pretty much locks me out of most fast chargers.
I’ve been WFH since COVID and only drive a few times a week. When I do get an EV hopefully in the next 1-3 years, it’s probably going to basically trickle-charge from a modest PV setup. If it takes 3 days to fully charge, so be it; it’d just be sitting there anyway. Though I’ll probably wire in a 220v level 2 charger (or whatever they’re classified as) on the rare occasion I need a faster charge.
Electrify America accepts credit cards, and while Tesla technically requires an app, once your card is saved, you just plug in and it figures out the rest.
I want a dumb electric car. Give me a Honda civic with button and knobs that can plug in. Boom insta buy.
But they ALL have to have an app, and all the extras I really dont want or need. Plus in my area it regularly gets very extreme temps that have messed up electric cars in the past. He talks about how batteries are not an issue…but I know at least 3 people that have had battery trouble with EVs and had to get them replaced.
Im waiting a bit for EVs, but the ability to plug in and not go to the pump is a very tempting offer.

you really don’t need to use apps to fast charge at most places.
