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
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.
The size is exactly what matters. I think we can all agree that filling up a 5,000 gallon water tank with tap water from a vacation home isn't acceptable use.
So the only question is at what point becomes the use too much. A single car might seem harmless but what if it's a group of 4 all arriving with their own car, charging it at the home.
Clarifying what's acceptable and what isn't, is the right decision.
It’s about £19 to completely recharge the Tesla. A fraction of a penny to recharge the phone. It’s polite to ask
