It won't be long if EVs catch on in any significant number. You'll be required to have a special metered outlet installed in the garage (at your expense, probably several thousand dollars as the electricians will know a good thing when they see it) and you'll pay road tax on any electricity used from there. Heavy fines for bypassing, which will be suspected if your household power usage is high but your charger usage is low.
