No doubt they will try to kill it a second time or hinder sales it it diminishes there profit. In my country, we have some of the cheapest electricity in the world. Despite that it is barely advantageous financially to recharge an EV on the highway. It mostly depends on the efficiency of the EV and about half of them are less economical than IC vehicles in this setting, per magazine tests.
Since charging on the highway is already a boottleneck (recharge time x number of charging stations x real estate), energy companies lose no customers by charging (no pun) a premium for it.
