This video is worth watching. Tesla is known for not allowing anyone to work on it. If they don’t like what you did to Their car you purchased they can cut you off. When you “buy” an EV are you allowed to work on it, maybe customize it? Remember when you can go to an auto part store and fix your own car. If you do not have control of your car do you really “own” it. Having a charger network being able to disallow cars they do not like from their network is like not being allowed to get gas for for your car because its to old. Imagine you have your ID4 for 10 years, technology changes and the charging network no longer will support your “outdated” car. I suppose it is like an IPhone Then. This is a scary.

It is definitely a slippery slope. I can understand the issue when you are playing with 400 volts of energy that things can get messy. In a way it's similar to how there are many municipalities that require permitting and inspection for installing EV wall connectors in your home. Being that we live in the U.S., I can see lawsuits happening soon on ownership issues.

Although not mentioned in the video, I think EVgo is target the CCS1 to Tesla adapter that was recently released by Setec Power. People are having mixed luck successfully using the adapter.
