Heating the interior in an ICE car is no big deal
Someone forgot to tell VAG that when they designed the engine in our Octavias. ?

You can just go and look for the data yourself .
Dear VW, we’re not all 537 years old or dumb as nails…. Some of us understand EVs and just want to know the actual number ( like 37kw or 67% full). The data is there, hidden, so why not just inform us?
I never understood why VW opted for km/hr since that is also dependant on consumption and not just the charging speed. Also doesn’t it automatically switch from km/hr to km/ min on a fast charger to further complicate things?
Just give us kW and estimated time until full, is it that hard? Mine doesn’t even show a % just a guesstimate based on previous consumption….

But the vast majority are. And manufacturers make cars for them.
Also, that you need many apps just to keep your car topped still strikes me as wrong, somehow.
Depends... most I've seen are multi-branded / partner-networked, for example my EuroShell will also work at OMV, Esso, and Avia... Q8 and F24 in Denmark, ST1 in Sweden, etc. - also at Shell ?yeah, its like having a fuel card that only works at that brand (i guess that is a thing with company fuel cards ).

Charging companies saw an opportunity and took it, I guess. Do the apps have any redeeming features or is it just a form of payment?
He is doing it right - 37 kW was the current charging power, 67% for current state of charge (energy) - this second one could indeed be expressed in kWh. I assume the car only show's some 4/6 bars or some bullshit with "current range = random bullshit number that's nothing to do with reality" guesstimation next to it... so 67% or 24 kWh could indeed be more valuable.But aren't you using kW instead of kWh to indicate battery charge? What are you, 536 years old ? ?
10 bars (which approximate to 10% each)
Here’s what Im working with, 10 bars (which approximate to 10% each) and some random bullshit number of kms (which gets more accurate the emptier the battery is).
So 19% or 11% is the same bracket.
So yeah, 37 kw (charging speed) or 24 kwh (battery level) or 75% would be better…
