Default Re: [EVDL] EVLN: One RFID Card To Access All Public EVSE

I've often wondered why a single RFID style wasn't adopted for public EVSE. Carrying various cards is indeed a pain.
Problem with RFID is that it isn't particularly secure, whether it is in a charging station card or a credit card.

IMO a RFID credit card isn't secure at all, and especially vulnerable
here in Silicon Valley where all the techies are. I had to fight with my
credit card company to only send me the old-school magnetic strip type
of credit card. While that card has its own insecurities, at least I do
not have anyone reading my credit card info from near by.

But with everything changing, I may have to work out a plan to have a
RFID credit card, but keep in a metal sleeve to keep my personal access,
data, and info, ... personal (secure).
