David sez > ... you end up with a pocket full of RFID cards and a bunch of apps on your mobile phone ...<
Growing up in the late 1950's and 1960's, as a boy I remember when like an accordion my Father would unfurl all the various credit cards he had when he opened his wallet to pay (one for each brand of gas: shell, 76, chevron, flying-A, many-more; sears, and other store cards, & many-more). At the time, as a youngster, I thought, how wasteful (much like David's disdain). Then Visa, MasterCard, and other all-in-one plastic money came out, touting one card replaces all others. The problem of having to have a separate rfid card for each brand of public EVSE plugshare.com shows, is a pain/bain drivers have had to endure for many years. There have been some effort to allow EVSE-use payment via credit card, or some companies offer payment through them (apps, apple-pay, via-plugshare, +more) https://www.google.com/search?q=electric+car+charging+payments which comes back to David's point, EV-drivers need one easy way to pay for any and all public EVSE-use.
