♦ AGL, BP Pulse, Chargefox, Elanga, Everty, Evie, Exploren, Wevolt and Thundergrid Australia have their own RFID cards but also allow you to add your own RFID card or tag number.
♦ Autel, Enevi, EVX and SolarHub don’t have their own RFID card but allow you to add your own RFID card in their app.
♦ NRMA let you use any RFID card, linked to your Chargefox account, to charge your EV.

3 EV Networks only let you use the RFID card they issue you
