I don’t own an EV yet so have a pretty basic question. Do all charging stations need smartphone (app) to use? Can I just drive up to a station and pay to charge? (If yes which network)

USA specific (of others r interested just add international info as well)

    Privacy is one part, but I’ve accepted that if I’m getting new car I can’t just expect privacy.

    However I’m using pinephone these days I don’t have access to apps

      You don’t need app to charge. You can usually pay by card or if you don’t there is a QR code on the charger that redirects you to a website where you can pay and start the charge online.

      So if you have a pinephone it should work.
