  • I don't see why - all the regulations ( www.legislation.gov.uk/.../ukdsi_9780348228434_en.pdf ) seem to be asking for is for new private change points to be equipped so that they can interact with the smart grid etc. or default to off-peak hours, if the owner wishes it to.

    I can't see anything about EV usage being separately metered for bill payment purposes -  the accuracy looks far to poor for that to me and it as it's measuring at the point of use rather than point of import it wouldn't be able to distinguish between electricity from the supplier and electricity generated on-site.
