Comment on Is charging electric car at holiday house "theft"?

I get the safety concerns but does she say “no charging cars” in the terms and conditions. I am not sure this is theft any more than charging mobile phones and tablets would be. If she is worried about how much electricity then take meter readings and make it accepted terms that all electricity is to be paid for. What if one guest choses to use the oven for a five course meal. Is that theft of electricry

IMO the electric oven is an appliance of the house, can be used at your better convenience. But the consumption of your car, was it by fuel or by electricity by charging a 80 - 100 kWh car battery, should not be supported by the property owner.
And you are comparing a phone battery with a car battery, I get that on paper it looks like that same but obviously this is messed up comparison. Sounds like comparing filling water for pasta cooking and filling a 40k L swimming pool…
In the end, the answer will be that renting prices will increase to support the extra electricity cost. And those not having an electric car will pay more for nothing more.

Better not charge your phone or laptop either then 🙄

A smartphone battery is about 4,000mAh a Tesla Model 3 is about 62kWh
One thing is not like another

Oh no, oh no, it's a few pence worth of electricity. Screeching noises THIEF!! HOW DARE YOU USE THE INCLUDED UTILITIES

It's exactly the same except larger, unless you think the car is somehow pulling more than the house can give, which isn't how that works like, at all.

I get it’s different, but is it theft. If there was a wattmeter and I filled an inflatable swimming pools every day would that be theft… What if I brought an inflatable hot tub and ran the heater for the week. If electricity is included in the rate that implies the guest can use what they want
