I guess I am ignorant.
What exactly is a “reader”?
What does a “reader” do?
Is this some sort of govt. make work job for libs?

I’d guess it’s somebody from an electric utility who reads meters.

Here in the heartland if you refuse to hook up your electric meter to the internet, they come out and read it from the street via rf connection.

Since their product is selling electricity, some of their minions use electric cars.
