I think most of the arguing is about how much information the power supply sucks out of the car. The charger is in the car, so calling anything hanging on a wall a charger is a misnomer. The thing you plug in is a power supply and a communication link. The power part is pretty simple. It's the communication - driver's privacy and billing that are the stumbling blocks AFAIK.
