It seems like the obvious thing to do would be to get a metred EV charging point and bill the tenant separately. There are even grant schemes to help pay for the cost.

It's not like EVs are going away. Every house with a driveway is likely to have one eventually. She might as well get ahead of the curve.

Alternatively I remember when I was a kid my grandparents would spend several weeks in a holiday let that had a coin operated meter for the electric, we had to keep feeding it coins to keep getting power, surely they could do the same thing these days.

@Patch @Hogger85 It is going to be a standard need at holiday and break places.
