Today I discovered that Ionity chargers work a bit differently than the GRIDSERVE and ChargePoint chargers I've used so far. You can't just tap a credit card on the machine to start a charge, you have to go to a web payment portal instead. That would present problems if someone did not have a smartphone with local internet access, but for me and my eSIM this actually works better because in exchange for using the web payment portal I got a web dashboard to remotely monitor the charging session, while still not having to install an app, create an account or get an RFID card.

I also like the purple halo lights.
