I don't own an EV yet so have a pretty basic question. Do all charging stations need smartphone (app) to use? Can I just drive up to a station and pay to charge? (If yes which network)

USA specific (of others r interested just add international info as well)

If you're worried about privacy, they can already tell who you are by your car's data. Avoiding using a smart phone for charging will just make charging more difficult for no personal privacy gain.

Modern cars are massive data collection devices nowadays. Volkswagen just suffered a data breach including customer contact info and the gps history of their vehicle.

Privacy is one part, but I've accepted that if I'm getting new car I can't just expect privacy.

However I'm using pinephone these days I don't have access to apps
