> may need to rethink electricity pricing structures as their EV charging needs increase Duh. With the ramp up of solar production and the increase of EV demand, there will certainly need to be pricing changes, or simply more people will need to pay more dynamic rates. This will easily shift behaviors, really simple economics at work here. “At night” is a bad title. People need to not charge their EV right when they get home in the evening which is near peak energy usage, there needs to either be a delay circuit to actually charge at night during the usage minimum (which will actually lower costs and make things more efficient) or during the ever increasing daily solar maximum which is somewhat earlier than the daily usage maximum. We don’t need rules or morality here, just pricing that motivates people to match their behavior to demand. Really though charging at home should be fine as long as there’s a “wait until 10pm to save $2” button, or whatever. It really would be better because raising grid utilization during idle times really helps efficiency.
