EV charge times

lyledunn

Apparently from September 2021 charge points placed on the U.K. market are required to be factory set not to charge during peak times, 8-11am and 4-10pm. Although the parameter can be altered by the user, it is a recognition that things are getting tight.

    AFAIK, There is already at least one EV charger that modulates the charging rate in order to avoid operating the cut out fuse. It measures the total load by means of a current transformer on a meter tail. 

    And anyway the proposal described in the O/P does not involve variable rate charging, it is a simple time switch, that inhibits charging at certain times, and permits of charging at the usual rate at other times.
