First, locate a compatible charging point through a network's website or mobile app. Next, follow the instructions to create an account if you don't already have one. Once set up, you can start the charging session via the app or by tapping the RFID card, depending on the system. Payment is usually done through a pre-registered credit or debit card on the app.
