>It really shouldn't even need that, it should be what Tesla does with their supercharger network. Plug in your car, it does a tap/pay style negotiation, start charging.

That's a lot simpler when you only have a few cars on the road and standardized charging hardware. But this will get figured out in time. I mean, look at fuel pumps.

It's already part of the CCS standard, so I expect that you'll start seeing manufactures slowly adopt it in the future.

The trick is getting current stations updated. I still can't tap and pay everywhere and that's somewhat frustrating.
