For anyone interested in how the utilities are going to meter for PEV charging (under EV-TOU-3 or similar), this document is worth a read:

The Utility Role in Supporting Plug-In Electric Vehicle Charging
Filed August 30, 2010
It highlights many of the challenges in separating PEV charge costs from residential electricity, and some of the unsolved issues in property boundaries.
I couldn't find a clear direction on where EV-TOU-3 is headed, with subtractive metering, so this might be something SDG&E is just hand-waving right now. Hard to tell.
The "Environmental Coalition" is also pushing this to allow charges for highway/excise tax, since we don't pay for it in gasoline. (!)
