It doesn't work that way. With rfid cards, you can have several of them, one for each charging network you have a contract with, so you can decide which one to use before charging. How are you going to do that if your car only offers a single id? If you have three contracts with networks and all three offer access to a charger and each of them is the cheapest for a particular duration or amount of charging, which one would be used?
You need mir than a single id. With plug and charge, there's a standard for this whole issue that is already implemented in several cars and chargers. Just use that one.
