No, you’re paying over and over for the battery.

Sort of like how you pay over and over for gas, without which your car doesn’t work?

Even when I don’t use it? How is it acceptable?

I don’t see anywhere that you can’t also just buy a battery and charge it yourself if you’d prefer that over a subscription.

But for gas you don’t need to worry ownership problem as you can’t reuse gas. Once it is burnt, it’s gone.

Batteries are different because you can recharge it, which brings ownership problem into sight. And unlike gas tank for your grill, which the port is somewhat universal and shape doesn’t matter too much. Car batteries have wear level that affects performamce (range) and are likely designed to fit a car/platform. It isn’t that interchangeable.
