I don’t know why people are surprised? I mean most “disruptive” changes in the past 10 years have been disruptive in lowering costs by somehow bypassing either taxes or social/employee welfare constructs.
Uber - Disrupts taxis by taking away the fixed pricing model
Tesla - Disrupts luxury cars by lobbying for tax exemptions and also running on a fuel that isn’t taxed.
You know if you use your own Biodiesel or brew your own ethanol fuel you have to pay excise on it? Soon what will happen is the chargers will simply be smart-metered to charge excise per kw/h whether you draw it from the grid OR your own panels.
