In the deep past, given how many VCR clocks remained at 12:00 because their owners never set the clock, how many EV owners to you think are going to bother explicitly setting a "charge time" in their EV?
Unless it ships from the factory with "charge only during hours X to Y" preset and turned on, the vast majority are not going to get set for a delayed charge time, and will simply charge whenever plugged in. And their owners are likely to "plug them in" at the end of every trip so they are sure to be "topped up" for their next trip.

- mechagodzilla 4y agoMy utility gives me half-rate electricity if I charge after midnight ($0.11/kwh vs $0.23/kwh) - people will line up and wait for 20 minutes or drive across town to buy gas that's $0.03/gallon cheaper, I think they'll figure out how to set the 'delay charging' option on their car if it gives them the equivalent of half-off gas prices.
