(Not So) Smart Meters - You Have Been Warned.
A man has been charged an £40,000 for electric in a single day - after a smart meter gaffe.
He confronted supplier EDF over the charge and was told smart meters are "never wrong".
The supplier told him they would be upping his direct debit to £400 a month because of the readings.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Smart meters are not "smart" - they only process what is sent to them from the main meter. So assuming we accept that the man has not used £40k worth of electricity, one of 3 things has happened
1) The meter has mis measured the amount used
2) The meter has mis communicated the reading
3) The system that processes it has a fault.
my guess is a software fault somewhere in the system that gets the data from the meter and sends it to the bill processing system.
The first thing to do is to check the actual readings and work out how much is used independently and take it from there.

Goggled Tesla...
'Did Nikola Tesla create unlimited electricity?
One of the Nikola Tesla's attempt to provide everyone in the world with free energy was his World Power System, a method of broadcasting electrical energy without wires, through the ground that was never finished, but his dream of providing energy to all points on the globe is still alive today...'
Yes he did they're all running off my smart meter.
