I can get gas from multiple gas stations with cash without proving my identity.
I can't do that with electricity right now.

Sure you can. You go to the gas station and buy with cash, then use a generator.

There are plenty of free charging stations out there. The closest one to my house is 5 minutes away at a grocery store.

It was quite a while ago, but there was an airline that refused to allow a passenger to board until they deleted a negative tweet.

I live in the part of California where the power company does just cut the power for days upon days, for the sole purpose of limiting their own liability for wildfire.
Just because they are a regulated utility does not mean they care about you. They will do anything and everything that their regulators will let them get away with.
Electric utilities are also regulated monopolies, they can't just cut my power without running afoul of a ton of laws. Even in such a ridiculous scenario, you can make your own electricity. You can't make your own gasoline.
