    Multiple times a year, the police asked SMUD to search its entire database of 650,000 customers to identify people who used a large amount of monthly electricity and to analyze granular 1-hour electrical usage data to identify residents with certain electricity “consumption patterns.” So consuming a lot of electricity and for hours long at a time, and possible at night? That sounds like the exact pattern that would show up when charging and Electric Vehicle at home.
