The UK smart charging regulations require all new domestic electric car chargers to be "smart." I.e. connect to a platform that tells them when they may or may not charge. They must have default schedules that avoid peak usage times if they are not connected. They must randomise start times somewhat so that there is no sudden surge of demand when the off-peak period starts, and so on. Many of the chargers on the market were doing these sorts of things already, anyway.
