A lot of car parks are becoming like this. It's especially frustrating when you try to download the app but you have no signal and there's no other way to pay.

I checked it and remembered correctly that in the EU at least they made it mandatory to have it on chargers

The new EU regulation AFIR (Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation) stipulates that fast-charging stations with an output of 50 kw or more must be equipped or retrofitted with the option of card payment with immediate effect. The AFIR came into force on 13 April 2024 and takes precedence over national laws.

My favorite thing about that is when you fill in the required info and need an email but because you gotta enter it each time using a temporary email doesn't work. Then you get spammed to death by them....
