Mach E. I've had plug and charge work every time I've used an EA charger on the first try. I've never failed to charge on an EA charger nor have I ever had to use an app to pay for it.

Most EVgo charging experiences have been plug and charge. I did have one experience a while ago that needed an app but that was one of their older chargers which even still had their old logo on it. All their newer chargers have successfully done plug and charge.

I've had tap to pay work with Google Wallet at Road Ranger (Freewire) and Francis Energy chargers.

> You mentioned taping a card, not just plugging in

That's why I included the language "as well". I've used a number of different brands of EV chargers.

Out of all the times I've used a public DCFC, I had to use an app maybe 10% of the time. And of that, it was only earlier into my ownership, I haven't had to use an app in about a year. Every charger I've used in the last year has been either plug and charge or supported credit cards directly.

Huh, ok, it seems like the Mach E is special in this regard:

Now if they could just support it for my i4...

Nope. Both my Lucid and my Ioniq 5 just plug and charge at EA, and I’ve never had an issue with either.

Other stations require payment, but EVGo plug and charge works too if you’ve set it up ahead of time.
