Ah, but you underestimate the power of lawyers, laws, and money.
What if they pass laws that make it illegal to charge your EV at home,
because it's "dangerous"? After all, some states do not allow you to
pump your own gas, supposedly for "safety" reasons.
What if the power companies rig things so they "own" the electricity in
your EV's battery, so they can take it back for P2G to handle peak
demands on the grid? Since they "own" it, they can control when and
where it can be put in or taken back out.
What if EVs are only provided with special patented licensed charging
connectors, which cannot be sold for installation in private dwellings?
The oil companies are only getting involved in EV charging to make
money. Restricting access to increase prices is bound to be a part of
their plan.
