After reserving my LEAF last month I decided to contact my Electricity provider to see if they had any programs in place for EV charging. They informed me that they could install a second meter, and would basically give me a 30% discount on all electricity used to fuel my LEAF. The catch is, they charge you $20 a month just to have the second meter. I did the math, it came out to be the same whether I did their program or just charged at my regular rate. Then a few days later I'm contemplating the install of the charging unit in my detached garage, and I realize that my electric meter is a lot closer to my garage than the breaker panel which is on the second floor. I don't know much about electric meters and how they work, but when they install the second meter, would I be able to run power directly from the meter to the charging unit, or to a sub panel?
