Yes, it's often possible to charge without a charging card at all

Yes, in many cases it is possible to charge without a fixed charging card and without a subscription. In addition to the recognized charging card, which is associated with a subscription with a charging card provider, more and more charging points are offering a way to charge once: by scanning a QR code, opening an app or making contactless payment at the point itself. A person who does not have a charging card does not need to conclude a subscription first to still get electricity.

In reality, the difference in how this is seen depends on the charging point and the operator. Some charging points are set up so that only one charging card works, while other points intentionally offer a single-use option without a fixed agreement. An example of this is a charging point that works through its own QR code — as seen at independent points at holiday accommodation, parks or other types of short-term rental — the user buys electricity directly there, without a card and without a prior subscription. That is a different arrangement from the network of public roadside charging points, where charging cards from different providers are available side by side.

What is available about this from RVO

RVO, on the page about electric driving and charging infrastructure, provides general information about how charging works, what the roles are of charging card providers and charging point operators, and how charges and access to charging points are arranged. That is where you read how the broad landscape of charging in the Netherlands is laid out and what the different ways of charging and payment are side by side.
