Adding to the rant
Like many countries, France has an near infinite number of charging stations, all of which require a different card and paid membership.
All of those companies used state funds to build their infrastructure.

About your additional rant. Not saying your experience isn’t real, yet when I travel through France from Belgium basically all fastchargers I’ve used accept my eflux card(Total, Shell, Fastened and another I forgot the name of). A total one had some sort of network malfunction once and I switched to credit card.
The slow chargers are more hot or miss though. But credit card again seems to work at those I’ve used at least.
I agree it’s annoying you can never be a 100% sure and that you basically have to use apps like ABRP for longer routes if you want to make sure your card will work.
Honestly, thanks, I’ll look into that. I think though this is more what’s available on the auto-routes, but I never heard of this one.
I also think the Shell card supports most of them. If anything it’s probably best to look into ABRP since they’re great to help you plan trips that align with all your needs.
