    Abstract: A power consumption metering device for a vehicle that utilizes electrical energy from an external source has a power metering circuit coupled to a main power cable between a power charging port and an energy store of the vehicle to measure voltage and current from the external source, a communications module for data communication, and a controller coupled to the power metering circuit and the communication module having a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions that cause the controller to obtain a measurement of the voltage and current integrated over time to determine data for an amount of energy consumed during power charging, store the data for the amount of energy consumed in the memory, establish a communication link with a tax assessment application executing on a client device, and transfer the data for the amount of energy consumed to the tax assessment application.
