If I plug my car in at 5pm, it won't start charging for 7 hours, when it's economically rational for it to do so. Time-of-use pricing seem to solve this. EV load is among the least time-sensitive of all power consumers. Set up your pricing right, and the EV charging will follow.
- SoftTalker 3y agoWhat if you need to go out again at 9pm?
- recursive 3y agoThen I go out at 9pm. Unless I've driven 200 or 300 miles that day (depending on charge level) there's no issue with any of this. If I'd driven 300 miles earlier in the day, and know I need to drive more in the evening, I'd override the charging schedule. This literally never happens.
