(being able to abort if the energy price is abdurdly high!)<br><code>3.</code> pay with card (NFC+PIN).<br><code>4.</code> upon payment confirmation, the vehucle gets charged and the charging station shows an estimated completion timer & offers sending a notification via eMail or SMS.<br><code>5.</code> Once completed, the charging station will unlock the plug/socket and send said notification out. In the meantime another customer could just pull the unlocked plug and start their charging.</p><p>Just like on a (abeit slow) gas pump!</p>
