Yes but that's the system now. I bet you there is no way that energy will suddenly become free. I know Tessla are saying free re-charging points and free for ever - but - in the end the cost will be extracted by other means. They could for example "sell" their charging stations to another company that then goes bust or nearly bust and has to make people pay...
...I'm pretty sure the Dutch government would be upset if they lost their fuel duty taxes - they're not going to take a pay cut. I reckon other governments will feel the same way too.
Don't believe the hype. "They" didn't like it when people started to pour chip fat into their fuel tanks - that was too clever and "not fair"...
