Is there currently distinction between electric for charging vs traditional uses at the residential level?

The grid has no idea what you're doing with your power nor does it send different modes of electricity to different appliances. It would be the responsibility of the home or the vehicle being charged to modulate the amount of current (or type of current) they're pulling.

But the pricing is set at the grid level. So you'll have people being charged extra for "normal" uses.
