Tesla prices are usually cheaper than any other EV charging station (or free). From my understanding they charge a little bit above local electricity rates enough to cover maintenance costs. Are you making the argument that non-Teslas should be charged more than Tesla users. I'm fine with that but I think that wouldn't be allowed under this new provision.

I'm making the argument that all brands of EV charging network should charge all brands of EV. Anything less is backward, primitive, and simply dumb infrastructure. In Europe, Tesla charges Tesla drivers less for charging and other drivers more. Tesla also has membership pricing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y33AArvMUQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y33AArvMUQ Other charging networks also have brand specific deals and membership pricing.

Okay but this is a theoretical statement and doesn't really jive with the current existing environment. This is a goal, not a method to achieve it.

    The method to achieve it is to put CCS on your car and charge on any charger. There is no mystery here. This is not theoretical. It's the practical reality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_WjeH3I8p8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_WjeH3I8p8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPIhazPcY64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPIhazPcY64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI5EnOo05BE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI5EnOo05BE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=theiiFWydmo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=theiiFWydmo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G30iqWzEe8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G30iqWzEe8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlUZfGMqv_g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlUZfGMqv_g
