Why can't electric vehicle chargers be sold with built in meters that track the amount of energy that is used to recharge a vehicle? Electricity is already metered for billing purposes. Gasoline contains definable amounts of energy, and it is taxed on a per-gallon (amount of energy) basis. Why not do the same for EV chargers and electricity?

Great idea. It works for both home charging and public/commercial chargers. It could also be used to help pay for the new electrical infrastructure required for vehicles.
