This shit is the worst. I've stood on fucking empty dark parking lots, in the middle of freezing winter storms, with screaming kids in the car, for what feels like hours setting up absurdly complicated apps, that require so much bullshit information, only to find at the end of it that the charger didn't work anyway.
This experience alone is enough for me to actually discourage a lot of people from buying an EV. These providers need to get their shit together, it's absolutely horrible user experience.
In the 5 years I've owned an EV, things have gotten better, but the fact that this is still a common experience means that infrastructure just is not ready.
