Imagine this: you’ve just decided to switch to an electric vehicle. You’re excited about the green future and the idea of cleaner driving, but as soon as you have the key in hand, you realize that the path to electric charging is full of bumps. How do you start charging? Where do you install charging stations at home or at your business? How do you navigate different pricing structures, and which app should you use? Do you need multiple charging cards, or can you manage everything with one card?
