Seems strange, in Europe where Tesla chargers are open to all CCS2 vehicles, the prices are the same for everyone. On most chargers you can just tap your payment card to start the charge, although I think you can get cheaper rates as a member too.

I mean, the EU and the US have _extremely_ different views on competition regulation (or, at least, different enthusiasms for it; the actual philosophy isn't that different, but the FTC has been basically moribund since the late 90s, whereas the EC is if anything getting more aggressive lately).

This will be mandatory as of next year.

AIUI this will no longer be permitted as of next year.
