Adding to the rant

Like many countries, France has an near infinite number of charging stations, all of which require a different card and paid membership.

All of those companies used state funds to build their infrastructure.

    About your additional rant. Not saying your experience isn’t real, yet when I travel through France from Belgium basically all fastchargers I’ve used accept my eflux card(Total, Shell, Fastened and another I forgot the name of). A total one had some sort of network malfunction once and I switched to credit card.

    The slow chargers are more hot or miss though. But credit card again seems to work at those I’ve used at least.

    I agree it’s annoying you can never be a 100% sure and that you basically have to use apps like ABRP for longer routes if you want to make sure your card will work.

      Honestly, thanks, I’ll look into that. I think though this is more what’s available on the auto-routes, but I never heard of this one.
