I have three phase power and solar.

 

If I have my car plugged in, charging on one phase which is importing a small amount of power, while the other two phases are exporting - does the meter offset so I get a small net export. Or does it (as I suspect) have two completely separate registers and charge me for the import (at 30 cents) while simultaneously crediting me for the export (at 17 cents) ?

 

 

 

NB: the inverter cannot see the connection that the car is plugged into so is not capable of increasing the supply to the phase with the car charger - they are 30m separate.

This has been discussed previously, and the answer is the current metering code requires the lines company to meter and charge you for export and import on different phases. See e.g. this thread: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?topicid=311834
