Is there any kind of pricing regulation? One network sounds like it would mean no pricing competition.
We have 4 charging networks that im aware of, but only 2 are needed to get 99% of places. But especially for small towns, there is only one charger, so no real choice (or competition).
There are lots of different operators who charge their own rates, they just all have to use the same network for payment. And the (only?) good part about it being via app or keyfob or autocharge is that it doesn’t have to use Visa/MasterCard. But it would also be fine by me if they accepted MBWay/SIBS (which is our local payment network) right at the charger.
