Adding to the rant

Like many countries, France has an near infinite number of charging stations, all of which require a different card and paid membership.

All of those companies used state funds to build their infrastructure.

I believe EU regulations say that at least fast charging stations is required to have credit card payment option

    This only applies to fast chargers built after a specific date because they wouldn't or couldn't force companies to add it retroactively. Though I suspect most did so anyways, especially those near touristy roads like the péage network.

    Yes if course, not required retroactively, but as you, I think some will simply update all their stations anyway, simply so their customers know they will always be able to pay with a credit card at their stations.
