    No. The registries are all state-level, though many states do allow other states to query their systems.

      Oh I forgot they were state level, I’d guess Congress could either tell states to give them the list of electric cars or ask the states to do the deed for them. I guess that could be a hard task if every system is very different. Not sure.

        In theory, constitutionally-speaking, Congress doesn’t have jurisdiction to command that, and trying would cause a judicial battle that could last long enough for grown-ups to take back over.
