I think that stinks, but it's very likely to happen in order to subsidize the cost of the technology. I hope it's a short-lived phenomenon.
========== Frankly, Mark, I think you and Paul are living in a future that will no longer happen. Sure, we once thought it would happen, everything digital, everything technological everywhere. CA is now officially in drought conditions. We may even end up with water mandatory rationing, right now it is voluntary. I won't be surprised if all of the US ends up with voluntary ENERGY rationing someday. Maybe even soon. I have six chargers already, we can't keep going around charging everything and having everything be electrical. The costs are too high -- both actual, environmental, limited unrenewable resources for producing power, and the power grids will not be able to cope. They barely are now. A storm a whole part of the country goes out. You need to adjust your thinking to the rapidly changing energy picture. And you think WE are the luddites. ;-) Unless we all go solar quickly enough.
