Japan can do it!

Guess we aren't big enough to do it here too, yet! www.greencarreports.com/news/1092400_japanese-electric-car-makers-set-up-single-charging-network-could-it-ever-happen-in-u-s

We don't have this problem there is really only one player in Australia that's chargepoint

I've tested my collection of RFID cards including bank and workplace room access cards.

circontrol, greenlots and elektrobay equipment can read
a) bank
b) smartrider
c) workplace room access
d) electrobay
cards
however may say "tag not found" or " not authorised" message.

but somehow
1) chargepoint
2) betterplace - says error reading card on greenlots unit, might use a different sector on the card
cards are not able to be read

it is a matter of getting the cards' ID onto the various network's database

interestingly e-station's card version which I use for the volt only reads circontrol cards, but the Circontrol Duo (Mennekes/J1772) unit with OCPP reads the above cards

I have requested in the past that they add the other cards to their database
a) greenlots requires purchase of a new unit since the current one (2011 unit) is out of support; it no longer sends SMSes to users.
b) better place said it was a good idea, but they went bust
c) I might retry UWA elektrobay
d) circontrol duo already works

Chargepoint bollard at magic Melville nissan read my bank card but not other cards
