fast charging needs to work - VW/Audi/Porsche set this network up - no matter how arms length they have done it - and all of the problems are around "activation" - once the charging session starts it works brilliantly
EA should dispense with "activation" and just offer plug&charge regardless - and give you a 5 min grace period to "pay" for the session after it's starts charging…if you car supports "real" plug&charge it would be taken car of - for all others - put a count down on screen with a "activation" code - enter the the displayed code into the EA app - and boom your account "pays" for the session - people who don't pay - well they get 5 min free - but EA could throttle the "max" charge rate to something like 25 kW until they have a valid/paying session
this would make things sooooooo much better…vs. spending 20 min DOING nothing trying to get the station to activate…
