The Editor,
As an electric vehicle (EV) owner, I am wondering why all the electricity providers insist that EV car owners pre-load their card/apps before they will let us get our fuel.
Car owners that use gasoline can just tap their bank/credit cards and get the fuel.
I now have four different companies that will provide electricity for my EV, but each requires that I pre-load their card/app before they will let me fill up.
Some require that I have a minimum balance of $50 or the pump won't work.
This is really outrageous!
At the moment, I only use BC Hydro stations. Who has the money to provide all the different companies with their minimum balance?
Then, there is the keeping track of it all.
I personally don't do any banking on my cell phone nor plan to in the future.
I feel that EV owners are being treated as second-class people.
Every store that I go into has the ability for me to use my bank/credit card. Every gas station has that available at the pump.
So what is the problem with the EV electricity providers?
