What are the relative costs?
It depends very much on the weather, but in Denmark the cost can vary from around 1DKK/kWh (€0.14) to 5kr/kWh (€0.67), or a few hours a year even more.

I don't know of any studies done here, but anecdotally I do know people who have the app version of that webpage and will schedule their laundry/dishwasher accordingly. (And of course EV owners will configure their car to charge at the cheapest period.)
Personally, the saving isn't worth thinking about for me. I run the dishwasher overnight anyway and sometimes the washing machine, but that's to avoid the noise during the evening rather than any economic or environmental reason.
- Scoundreller 3y agoFor the power price, in winter, it’s 8.7 cents/kwh at off peak, 12.2 mid peak and 18.2 peak. (Canadian prices, about CAD$1.35:US$1.00). There are other charges that don’t vary by time of day or kWh, so those numbers are only good for absolute, not relative comparisons. https://www.oeb.ca/consumer-information-and-protection/electricity-rates https://www.oeb.ca/consumer-information-and-protection/elect...
