228 The Paying For Your Charge Episode
In this episode of EV Musings, Gary discusses the complexities of paying for electric vehicle charging, comparing it to the ease of paying for other services like parking or petrol. He explores various payment methods, including contactless, RFID, apps, and roaming services, and argues that a roaming RFID card is the most efficient solution.
The episode also features Sara Sloman from Paythru, who discusses "payment anxiety" and the challenges drivers face with pre-authorisations, variable pricing, and failed payments. The episode concludes with a discussion on the future of plug-and-charge technology and the importance of roaming agreements.
