[QUOTE="UNG, post: 513515, member: 8931"] Why do they keep banging on about off peak electricity when it will very clearly cease to exist when they are trying to balance the load profile across all hours of the day On it's own overnight car charging at home at up to 7Kw per vehicle is certainly going to change the load profile for what currently is thought to be the off peak period, so will there be any "cheap" or "cheaper" electricity in 10 - 20 years time I doubt it. It is interesting watching the programme about building the Hinkley C power station and the guaranteed payments to each producer for every Mw of electricity produced from all various sources and how potentially overpriced it is. you have to wonder will this be the real price of electricity in the future when it ends up as a commodity traded to the highest bidder. The reliance that is being placed on electricity brings eggs and a basket to mind [/QUOTE]
