Yeah, you'd think. What a hassle you went through there, and for zilch. Yet nearly every filling station takes credit cards, and they just plain work. The most fuss you get from them is "key in your zip code." What's so different about EV charging? It's almost like the US charging chains are trying to get people to give up on EVs. We don't often use public charging here unless it's free. With 370-400km range, who really needs it? On the few occasions when we've paid, the Chargemap website has led us to a working charging point, and their RFID card has gotten the charge started without any trouble. Maybe we're just lucky.
