When a new appliance is added to the home (EV, hot tub, heat pump, AC) they will allow us to build in placeholder estimates for the consumption of the appliance and build that extra production into the system to account for the future use. However, they will only let us do this if the appliance was purchased in the last 90 days. It's a frustrating rule, I have clients come to me who have owned an EV for 4 months, and since it's outside that 90 day rule where they will allow the placeholder, the only option is to wait for a full year for the full usage to reflect on the bill.
In your case, I'd ask, when did you purchase the vehicle? If it's within the 3 months you're going to be able to add that placeholder for charging. If it's outside 3 months, you're going to have to start charging at home and wait for a year.

2022 but we're gonna start looking at panels when we move to a new house later this year (which is also where the heat pump upgrades will come in).
At the same time none of the history will even make sense because even the base usage of the new house is unknown.
