The system includes an electric vehicle including a charging port configured to be coupled to the charge handle. The electric vehicle is configured to be charged by the EVSE unit using the cable and the charge handle. In place of the electric vehicle, an electric vehicle-emulating electric load can be used. The system includes an inline electric meter device having a terminal end and a distal end. The charging port of the electric vehicle is configured to be coupled to the terminal end of the inline electric meter device. The charge handle is configured to be coupled to the distal end of the inline electric meter device. The inline electric meter device may be connected in various configurations. The inline electric meter device includes a display, a microprocessor, test and diagnostic logic, a report generator, a camera, and/or a GPS receiver.
