No, they do not.
The typical residential "smart" meter is the GE I-210, which is a kWh hour only device.
To get vAr measurement you have to step up to the GE kV2c, which is several times more expensive per unit. When you are talking about footprints of millions of customers, a choice between one product or another product which costs several times more, it doesn't matter what capacities the product offers, management will pick the cheaper choice 100% of the time.

The typical residential "smart" meter is the GE I-210, which is a kWh hour only device.
To get vAr measurement you have to step up to the GE kV2c, which is twice as expensive.
No, they do not.
The typical residential "smart" meter is the GE I-210, which is a kWh hour only device.
To get vAr measurement you have to step up to the GE kV2c, which is twice as expensive and the power factor calculation is actually an extra drop in module that isn't free.

To get vAr measurement you have to step up to the GE kV2c, which is way twice as expensive and the power factor calculation is actually an extra drop in module that isn't free.

I assure you, even the latest digital electric meters (GE kV2c and its knockoffs) are measuring kWh only, not vAr. If they display vAr, that figure is merely derived from the assumptions made about the power factor, it is not an actual measurement. If you actually look up the meter model with its manufacturer, 100% certain it will say it measures kWh only.
There is a model of the kV2c that has power factor calculations in it, but it's more expensive and not deployed residentially.
