Also it has taken time for open standards to be developed to allow "Plug & Charge" operation:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15118

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Charge_Point_Protocol

There are of course charge stations where you use an app or kiosk to enter your user account/payment information.

Tesla haven't implemented Plug & Charge for non-Tesla vehicles yet.

With the current implementation, you download the Tesla app, set up your payment account, then manually select your stall number in the app to begin charging.
