I don't think so. You paid for the car. You didn't pay for the charging station.
They are very different.
If they started disabling privately owned vehicles people would figure out a way around it. The people own the cars, so the government can't prevent it. The charging stations are a whole different thing. We can't do anything about that.
In the sense that if you can't charge it, you can't drive it. I think people are so used to these utilities being available, they don't see them as separate.
In your view, it only works if there's a different charging network they can go to down the street that will serve them. There would have to be an option that makes this a distinction.
If, for example, they tie all this up through your credit or debit card, then you won't be able to charge at any network and your car is now a 4500lb paperweight.
