Plugging a car to the power grid is just one of many solutions to the problem of powering a car. There are other ways to solve the same problem, which in totalitarian regimes with a centrally planned economy are easier to implement, such as swapping pre-charged batteries.

The Model 3 has coolant lines going through the battery itself so each battery swap would also require dumping and refilling fluid. Nonsense.
