This wasn't unexpected by many. Tesla put forth such a robust system that it was obviously going to be a temptation for "do good government officials" who want a feather in their cap regardless of how they get it. They will do this out of "fairness" but the real game here is, getting all charging systems to a point to where they are easier to tax. As in tax consumers to make up for the losses in petrol taxes. Many states are already putting up yearly tag renewal fees on EVs that are in some case excessive.
There are all sorts of regulatory pressures that can be brought to bear on Tesla if they don't comply, changing the law is nothing to people like these commissioners. They can simply make it to where systems that don't accept Credit cards or support all models of cars pay additional fees or penalties.
