I charge at home. The general setup is that to utilize the best pricing people switch to variable pricing when getting an EV, because it uses a lot of electricity and it’s really easy to time the charging.
The best prices are obviously always out of the peak hours.
Anyway, why are we asking millions of people to time their consumption, when it would be easier to ask a single factory or two to time their consumption to utilise the best pricing?
The article is from UK and I know their grid is in peak at teatime… like, would it be to much to ask the factory to take a break while people have water to boil?
