It's still like that?! That was one of the most irritating things back in 2015 - 18 when I had a Fiat 500e lease. I had to join several different charging networks, each with different options of free membership and paying per kWh, free that paid one rate and paid that was a different rate, paid by time, etc. I had to charge up some accounts while others were just pay as I go. Some I could tap my phone to start a session and others I needed to have a card or keychain tag with me.
Then I needed all their apps, plus a couple of independent ones to find the charging stations because the independent ones never showed everyone's stations or couldn't show the status. Even on those I'd have to check the comments about each station because it was so common for it to show as being available and working but every comment would say "doesn't work even though the app says it does".
I'd love to get another EV but it sure as hell won't be anything I take outside of single-charge distance from home until there are big damn changes to charging...
