I live in a condo and have a garage with a 120V plug, but the HOA doesn't allow charging a car from it because the electricity gets billed to them. Is there a way I can use a meter that charges me for the electricity (either linked to my credit card or send me the bill?)

I'm in an apartment, currently can only charge at work (it's free at work though), but I'll want a home charging solution sometime. I park in a carport with a 120V outlet that is common utility billed (landlord uses a billing company which splits the common electricity cost among residents).
I was proposing to add a sub-meter, and I also saw JuicePlug which seems to be an easier way to meter my energy usage. I think I would need someone to make sure the carport circuit can handle the 12-15A continuous for the 120V EVSE. Note I live in Bay Area CA where electricity costs are obscene ($0.26/kWH on the time of use plan, but up to $0.45/kWH if not), so I'd want to talk my landlord into switching that over also.
