Cool, as long as everyone settles on something decent.
The industry is coalescing around Tesla’s plug, which they put up for public adoption as the North American Charging Standard.
Also I want to be able to pay via a credit card and not deal with half a dozen different apps and we are all golden.
I would love that but I just don't think it will ever happen. It is just not high tech enough.
Yeh it is. They just closed source.
I have read that Tesla opened up their charger. Every article I read made it sound like it is no longer proprietary to Tesla
Tesla isn't going to sacrifice their ascetic to put card readers and screens on everything. Plus, they would probably save maybe $50 per station

This could probably be done as simply as having one reader for every few chargers. Just type in the stall number and tap your card. Kind of like paying for parking
