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.

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:

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.
