In AU, they already have public charging networks (Evie, for example) that allow you to pre register your VIN and just roll up, plug in and it starts charging.


Do you need to pre register your VIN on a gasoline pump? Then why would somebody even consider this as a requirement for BEV...


Actually I think this sort of feature could sell in regular cars as well. Embed a chip next to filler cap. Then at station just pull out nozzle place it in and in few second automatically start pumping. Then later the charge would go directly to credit card.

Many would love it if it was secure enough.
