Amazing video by Technology Connections. It’s a long one, but don’t miss his 30 minute angry rant at the end.

    It is in some markets. California PG&e has it, Texas is offering subsidies in some cities for it, and I’ve heard that it’s becoming popular in the UK too (octopus iirc).

      I forget the exact rates but the time-of-use pricing from PG&E was pretty good. Cheaper rates from 9pm to about 6am. After getting used to it running large appliances like dishwasher and laundry became easy.

        Yeah, and borderline extortionate pricing from 2pm-6pm
