So I am about to purchase the Bolt but currently rent my house. My landlord pays all utilities, however, I was upfront with her and said I wanted to cover the cost of charging the car as we both agreed that was fair. This was a decision to increase relationship with her so I can live here longer than a one year period.
I have thought of two ways to handle this situation but wanted to see if anyone had any creative solutions. Please share if you do. Otherwise, please comment on my two ideas:
Option 1: Pay landlord a monthly "subscription fee" to charge the car. This flat monthly fee would be simply tacked on my rent and I wouldnt have to worry about calculation actual usage.
Option 2: Calculate my EV usage per month and multiply the kWh by the current rate the landlord pays. This seems the most fair, however, I am unsure how to correctly calculate my monthly electricity usage. Does the Bolt have a feature to track each individual charging session? If so, I could write down each charging session at home and submit that to my landlord (scouts honor).
*Also, I highly doubt my landlord will want to add an EV meter, nor do I want to pay for one when I wont be living here after a few years.
