Thanks, what do the unbanked do in the EU? Some local cities have banned cashless stores, wonder if this will apply to EV chargers which seem to be unmanned.

Prepaid debit cards? Or otherwise charging at home / workplace.

I doubt there is any overlap between "unbanked" people an people who can buy EVs

Whilst I cannot speak for the entirety of the EU, at least in the Nordics, I'd say life would be pretty hard in many other aspects if you're unbanked. Just getting a salary would become problematic. Very few employers would pay out salary in cash.

Public charging would be far down the list there.
