It's likely most electricity for EVs will be consumed at home, though.
- adrianN 6y agoIn Germany, water used for watering your lawn is taxed differently from water you use to fill your tub. I'm sure we could mandate a separate meter for recharging cars.
- oh_sigh 6y agoBut regardless of whether you charge your EV at home or at a supercharger, you will almost certainly be using it on public roads.
- Scoundreller 6y agoJust curious, are there 2 meters? (I think we do it smarter for electricity: the first x kWh at one rate, then up from there, among other billing complexities).
- detaro 6y agoAFAIK: If you want to claim cheaper rate for part of it, you need to install a second certified meter for that part. If you are willing to go by default rate (which at least in some places assumes some ratio) you don't.
- Scoundreller 6y agoAh. I guess this is all because you don’t get charged for sewerage on the lawn watering.
- devilbunny 6y agoThat's how it's done everywhere I know of in the US. You do have to pay a bit more to have the second meter, but since sewage treatment is often more expensive than initial water treatment, you save quite a lot on balance.
- dschuler 6y agoCan confirm, I’ve seen a dual-meter setup for garden water in Germany.
