Mode 2 or 3 charging has no functionality that could allow this. The only comms/handshake is to 'agree' the current available and to cycle through the charge states.

DC charging is far more exciting in respect of data transfer.

EV's can and can be required to, communicate with the charger and can prevent charging if it doesn't get the right answer. You would be mad to believe that, when the Government start taxing electricity for EV's, to recover the huge amount of revenue it gets from fuel duties, it wont require manufactures to implement software that will prevent charging outside a smart system.

ICE cars would already be cheaper to fuel than EV's, if their fuels were taxed at the same rate as EV's, we are talking about massive losses in taxation if EV's are not taxed. The Government will prevent people charging using untaxed fuel, just as they do now with petrol and diesel.

Roads will be taxed, not the energy required to charge EV's.

You believe it something they would make manufacturers do through charging, then It would already be law.
