      According to EU laws since 2024 every charger above 47kW/h has to accept card payment. This is being slowly rolled out. I know that Spain now offers financing for charging station operators to do the necessary changes. I already saw some stations modified to accept credit card. They also rolled out public website with a map of charging stations which is also a big improvement. It’s slowly moving in the right direction and EU definitely has a good idea about how it should work. That’s why I’m still split. I will see what happens this year.
