How to use ChargePoint's Tap to Charge on a Tesla Model 3

EV driver Erza shows us how to easily charge up her Model 3 using a ChargePoint EV charging station with her iPhone X.

How to use Tap to Charge:

First, get the ChargePoint app and sign in to your account if you haven’t already.

-- iPhone: In the ChargePoint app, go to Menu, select Account and then Manage Cards. Pick "set it up,” add your ChargePoint pass to Apple Wallet

-- iPhone SE, 6, 7, 8: Tap your phone against the charging station, then use your thumb to authenticate and start the charge.

-- iPhone X: Tap your phone against the charging station, then double click the right power button to authenticate and start the charge.

-- Apple Watch: Double-click the side button and hold your watch close to the contactless reader. Wait until you feel a gentle tap, then you’re ready to charge.

-- Android: Enable NFC, turn your phone screen on and tap your phone on the station to charge. (That’s it!)

-- To use tap to charge, you’ll need iPhone SE, 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 8 or X running iOS 10 or newer; Apple Watch Series 2, Series 1 or first-generation; or a phone running Android 4.4 or newer with NFC.)

-- If you don’t want to use tap to charge, that’s okay. Your ChargePoint card will always work to start a charging session, or you can tap the “start charging” button in the ChargePoint app.

ChargePoint is awesome. I was at the Tanger Outlet this past weekend and charged my Model 3 after signing up via the CharePoint app. Now I just tap and charge at ease.

Nobody gives instructions on the adapter you need to purchase or where to get I’ve been tried super charging several times now and nobody gives complete instructions 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Where is a complete explanation for setting up an account and payment system? I have an account but cannot get the cord free from the charger.

I am looking forward to Tesla flooding the market! Though my wife and I are happy with our Leaf and Spark EV, we would really like that extra range and technology :)

If the ChargePoint is free so you still need to add Apple Wallet or Credit Card on the App?

What's is NFC? I have an android phone. Not very clear about the instruction.
