But didn't mention that if you do need a receipt/invoice (as per above), you have to use their absolute god awful app -
NEXTCHARGE network - the absolutely ugliest clunkiest app of them all.
I think I'd prefer a Chargefox + separate EMV terminal, over this "integrated" thing and awful app.
Yes, I wish more accepted Apple Pay.
I'll still need an app for an invoice/receipt I can claim back through my novated lease - so even if Tesla did go with some separate unit or something to activate the stalls and using contactless, I'd be using the app so I can get the PDF receipt out of the Tesla app afterwards.
(it would be nice if it was emailed afterwards....)
