Depends on the network & how new the charge point is.
Tesla cars communicate directly with Tesla charging points. Instavolt is just credit card. Most others though normally require some sort of app or rfid card - unless more have been converted to credit card when I wasn't looking?
The majority of points up here are Chargeplace Scotland, which are app or rfid card.
