We have a group of multiple houses, in the UK, with a single charging station (a Rolec EV Basic Charge 7.2kW:
That station doesn’t seem to have any smart component to keep track of its consumption. It’s all plugged on a shared electric meter for which we pay the bill as a group of home owners. This means that if some of us are using the charging station it will inflate the bill but we can’t know who used what and produce a fair split.
Any idea how we could do to measure what is every individual consuming? Maybe the RolecEV can be retrofitted with a smart meter somehow? Or using cables with integrated meters?
Seriously? Nobody thought about that when selecting the Rolec? Harper’s Rule of The Last Guy is it’s worth figuring out if there was method to their madness, because there often was.
Rolec’s BasicCharge line plainly scales up to everything you want, even 2-station charging - this just looks like a basic model. I would contact the company and see if there’s an upgrade path - or at least if you go with another BasicCharge you can salvage the pedestal and trenched hard-wiring.
