And cutting off supplies when the electricity company considers it appropriate.
Why not? Who really cares whether their washing, or washing up, drying or EV gets charged between 1am and 3am, or between 3am and 5am?
Which ties in, with controlling when consumers consume their energy - incentive driven.
As I keep saying, I don't really get it. They would make as much profit (per kWh sold) from non-EV users using nighttime elesectricity as from EV users, so why don't they want to 'incentivise' everyone, so that they get that extra bit of profit as well (even if it might be small in comparison with the EV use). Having added that bit in parenthesis, I'm not sure that EV charging uses much more electricity than do NSHs, do they?
... except that they all appear to have said that they won't do that (unless it is unavoidable) - I suspect because their lawyers fear the possible consequences of 'happenings' when they (remotely) switch it back on again.
If customers don't pay their bills, they can remotely switch them to 'pre-paid', so no real need to 'cut people off'.
