Seriously, especially with Tesla! I'm imagining a scenario where this becomes the standard and then Elon decides to charge everyone $2.99 per-use or some such nonsense.

That's entirely in-character for Mr. Musk.

EVGo already charges a $3.99 session fee. I made the mistake of topping up a EV rental without reading the fine print.

BTW, Tesla charges $12.99/mo for access to the SuperCharger network for non-Tesla brands. The $/kW rate is pretty competitive and just .05-.10 higher than the residential depending on time of day.

Or just block charging in a whole country because he got owned on twitter.

And then what, try to electrocute the law enforcement somehow when they come in to unblock it ?
