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.

Easy enough to make your car charge unevenly to simulate other things.

No it would't be in reality.
Sure you could just charge your car at 100ma the same as a torch, for a
few weeks, but no one would care would they.

But we use things like kettles, tumble driers, etc. So you just make the
car charge then stop then charge then stop, preferably at a different
level each time.

Problem with that approach is that a normal 13A charger isnt anything
like good enough for an electric car used to go to work and back every
day, and playing silly buggers like that will only make that problem worse.

Then use more than 13A. I can take 80A into my house right now (I don't have
an electric car) without them asking me why.

IMO most wouldn't bother and would just pay the tax.

Then they're idiots, as a diesel would then cost the same (in fact less as
there's no huge battery replacement cost).



Why do people have diesel driven cars as it;'s mnore expenive than pertol and
has more harmful polutants so why buy a car that costs more in fuel to run.


My old Audi A6 estate 2.0 L Petrol average MPG 25 if i was lucky.

New diseasel A6 2 litre 41 to the gallon, no problem

A fair bit of that is turbocharging.

turbo=small engine that runs efficiently at low power, but with extra
there if its needed.

Diesel maybe 15% on top of that.
