I'll believe it when I see it.
Even in Norway (home to a fuck load of EVs) I am using Tesla chargers for my non-Tesla on vacation.
I tried to use a hand full of other brands but they required apps and accounts that required a Norwegian citizen ID or Norwegian phone number to sign up.
Absolutely insane that it's not just a tap to pay on the terminal.
Hm that seems like Problem specific to norway. I have one app with which i have access to over 250k chargers all over europe. I just checked the charging point map and indeed, in norway there are very few i can use.
Does the app just find the chargers, or do you have to have the app to use the chargers?
I'm legit asking. I don't have a car new enough to have OnStar, let alone keyless ignition.
With the App i can use the chargers. Its the App of a lange energy Provider in germany. With this App i can use all These 250k + chargers. Additionaly i have a card that i can use for starting the charging process, if i am somewhere with no mobile Internet Connection. On top of that i always pay the same price per kw/h no matter if i use a charger in germany, Italy, Sweden etc.
