> Yes Tesla should be paid if they're being forced to subsidize their competitors

The way Tesla gets paid is by users paying for the charge. It isn't complicated.

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:

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.
