Electric vehicles vs Internal Combustion...

[mtread]

Wind? 24/7? What planet are you on? Our local coal fired has to fire up when the wind drops, and has done regularly this year

It's always windy somewhere, and of it's not it's probably sunny or raining. Nuclear is 24/7, and you daren't turn it off  :look


My son is on Economy 7. He uses electricity for heating and it works for him if you shop around for the right deal. It's a no brainer if you are charging an electric vehicle overnight (back on subject).
Anyway, the point being made is that Smart meters varying price is just a more sophisticated version of Economy 7. The principle of variable charging isn't new.
