Charging without smartphone
Charging without smartphone
I don't own an EV yet so have a pretty basic question. Do all charging stations need smartphone (app) to use? Can I just drive up to a station and pay to charge? (If yes which network)
USA specific (of others r interested just add international info as well)
You're viewing a single thread.
If you're worried about privacy, they can already tell who you are by your car's data. Avoiding using a smart phone for charging will just make charging more difficult for no personal privacy gain.
Modern cars are massive data collection devices nowadays. Volkswagen just suffered a data breach including customer contact info and the gps history of their vehicle.
Privacy is one part, but I've accepted that if I'm getting new car I can't just expect privacy.
However I'm using pinephone these days I don't have access to apps
You don't need app to charge. You can usually pay by card or if you don't there is a QR code on the charger that redirects you to a website where you can pay and start the charge online.
So if you have a pinephone it should work.
Oh interesting, is that for all charging networks?
