The lockin is at the charger level. Fill up with petrol? Drive up, tap your card, fill up. At some places you fill up then go into the shop and tap your card.

Electric? Drive up, work out which of the dozen of apps there are, try to download it, hold your phone in the other hand to try to get a signal, finally download it, then register, sell your personal data, then finally you can try to work out how to charge your car.

More sensible infrastructure regulation in Europe. They're mandating contactless payments on charger. No app required: https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/latest-fleet-news/electric-...

Even on Tesla's newer dispensers: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yflZN0dLT8s

It's true that North America still has a long way to go on EV infrastructure, but it will get there eventually.

Damn government, making things better for everyday people. How can honest corporations abuse their captive audiences when the government keeps restricting their abilities?

We need less/more/same regulation, whichever one satisfies my desires at any given moment!
