Does my smartphone need NFC to pay at car charging stations in Germany and The Netherlands?

I don’t know about Germany, but for The Netherlands I found a few sources stating that you can pay via a QR-code and an app:

  • FastNed: How can I charge my EV at FastNed:

    • When you start a charging session with a QR-code, you don’t need a dedicated charging card or any other form of registration […] Scan the QR-code […] choose the payment method in the app […]

  • Shell Recharge:

    • Ease of payment: use your Shell Recharge charge card, a card of another provider or pay via a QR-code with your phone

  • Mountoux.com: Best charging station apps:

    • Smoov App: […] Start charging session with QR-code, no need for a charging card, pay in the App (with your bank account, creditcard, […])

Note that I don’t have firsthand experience in charging an EV and that it appears to strongly depend on which charging station / app combination you encounter.
