Comment on Is charging electric car at holiday house "theft"?
agegamon@beehaw.org 1 year agoIn the first place, an AirBNB host should either: a) have house rules about how any electricity is used, regardless of source; or b) should factor uncontrolled use into their budget and thus expected pricing of the unit.
An irresponsible guest leaving the lights, TV, and some of their personal appliances on all day could do more damage than charging a car.
So could an irresponsible guest that sets the AC at 65 all day long. I can say from experience that A/C use costs more than charging my model 3 nightly, especially when I’m home all day and the thermostat can’t go into away mode.

I feel like that will change though when EV’s become more predominant though, and the range gets longer (also when the motorheads slowly switch, suddenly they’ll likely become “gatekeepers” of the EV chargers because it affects them, instead of blocking them)
