Gone are those days! I noticed my city in California (Oakley) has installed ALPR (Automatic License Plate Readers) at all major intersections into the city. This is also being done by many other cities. Tracking is no longer limited to just companies you do business with, the Government is now tracking you. Welcome to 1984 (I mean 2024).
Yes, Tesla superchargers do not have any kind of user interface, there is no card reader, no display. In the original implementation the car controls the supercharger and handles auth/billing, not the other way around. This is one of the main reasons they are so reliable and easy to use. Tesla does not need to provide reliable internet connectivity to each site and have them check in with some kind of a back-end like CCS stations do. Obviously with the V4 Supercharger this is ending. The V4 will have back-end connectivity and longer whips needed to reach other vehicles' charge inlets. I just hope they allow Teslas to operate as before so if the back end goes down or internet is spotty, a Tesla owner can still charge using the "old way".
