Either way it's a good deal, but does not factor the massive capital

But how long will it be before the government decide that they have to
tax the electricity to charge a car at the equivalent rate as the tax or
petrol/diesel? Why do you think that they want smart meters fitted to
every household?

Can they tell the difference between green and red electrons or something?

No but the blue ones are easy to spot. That's when they use E7 'charging' ;-)

But I might be charging 1 million mp3 players! I don't want fuel tax on that!

Then don't plug in 1 million mp3 players at the same time then.
As this would be how a smartmeter could detect and know what you are plugging in.
I do know someone that was writing an app for use with smartmeters.
