Deutsche Bahn is intentionally kept shitty in order to support the car industry in Germany
Additional to that I believe that the car industry had a say in the design of EV charging infrastructure. When you go to a normal gas station, you can pay with any of the already established payment methods (e.g. cash, credit card etc). But when you want to charge your EV at a charging station, you have to register with the energy provider beforehand in order to use it. This is an additional hassle to convince people of overthinking their decision to switch to an EV.
You can't pay with the established payment methods at a charging station - at least, in my region.
Fucking jes!
Germany has a lobbyism problem
