Tesla has also recently added wi-fi to their existing chargers, and will facilitate payment processing:

> With a growing number of Tesla cars on the road, a Wall Connector can pay for itself over time. Property managers will soon be able to set the price of charging sessions while Tesla handles payments automatically and securely – with no monthly fees. [1]

This is a model similar to what chargepoint offers, though I suspect it will have lower fees as their main goal is to sell more cars.
