Yep. Because it's completely under your control -- you could simply choose to leave it off all the time. A switchable disadvantage (or feature) is a perk because it does give you an option that others don't have (some disadvantages are occasionally useful), but it's not worth more than a perk no matter how good or bad the disadvantage is, so they all cost the same.
As to speed, the Special Recharge limitation is worth a lot because it means you can only recharge when you have an external source available (other people hitting you, giving you energy, etc.) but it does have the advantage that when that external source
is available you can often charge up quickly. If you want that speed without requiring an external source (i.e., only dependent on yourself), you'll have to pay for Regeneration (ER).
