It’s not as complicated as I thought at first. Driving a Tesla you have most routes covered with Tesla Superchargers.
Additionally, I have a basic subscription from an electricity provider including their charging card for rare cases where the app doesn’t work. There are just 3 different types with increasing rates:
- Owned by provider
- Not owned by provider
- Ionity
Yes but that depends on the car and country. I have a 2019 Nissan Leaf. Don’t have access to any manufacturer specials or anything.
In the perfect world in the future, any EV will be able to plug in to any charger, automatically authenticate, and have a clear price display, and that info would be easily findable in a central place.
