Hasn't been an issue with the regular gas pumps, which have had card terminals for decades.

And they're only requiring to accept card. The chargers could still offer charging via app or sms like now.

I would prefer Tesla style, where it is negotiated via a protocol over the power plug rather than app, SMS, or POS.

Sure, but that won't happen without gov't intervention. Card is easy enough, just blip and you're done.
