How do less banked people charge an electric car?

Context: I don’t own an electric car yet. I don’t have a credit card due to identity theft.

    You can still probably get a prepaid credit card…
    You just have to pay it upfront before doing the transaction.

      I want to clarify, by prepaid I expect that you mean a secured credit card right because prepaid cards you can find at stores are meant to rip you off and charge large fees for usage and charging.

      Personally I recommend discover, they offer stupid simple secured cards and after a year or so usually they give your deposit back and upgrade it to a standard credit card

        Yes, absolutely. Fuck the stuff you get at stores’ checkout.

        I do mean something from a bank or union, it’s just instead of having a limit you can borrow from, you can prepay and do whatever transaction after.
        Works fine for online places that only take credit.
        You can usually get them even with shitty credit, because they’re not fronting you the money.
