Why does it need to be app based? Can’t you use CC terminals like a normal gas station? Swipe or tap card like any other payment?

Isn’t that what OP is saying? That it shouldn’t be app based and that the new ISO would resolve that by having the car communicate with the charging station? /edit I may have misread that

/edit2 the proposal uses certificate exchange between the car and the charging station. No app.

Ah, I hyper-focused on the dead phone and many apps and totally missed the communication hopefully moves directly between car and charger.
