How is the separate metering done?
- danans 4y agoPresumably the EV charger communicates usage data with the utility and they reconcile that with the main meter before sending the bill.
- rconti 4y agoIt sounds like you just have a way of tallying up your EV charging and sending it to the utility. For awhile PG&E has had separate EV plans if you physically install a separate meter, which seems silly. As it is, our time-of-use plans are hardly any cheaper off-peak vs on-peak. They've made my plans worse and worse over the years.
- snickmy 4y agoIf it's a retrofit (ie.: the ev charger/nor the meter have the right technology and setup) EV energy pattern consumption is rather unique, and is very easy to understand consumption through energy disaggregation algorithm. It's a technology already used at utilities companies to understand for instance if a household has electric or gas hobs.
