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.

    When I applied for a charger, I had to wait for Western Power to reservice my neighbour whose service was looped from mine. 

    I wonder if we'll get to a point where limiting the charge point to say 16A (or even 10A) would (along with the absence of other long-term heavy loads) would allow the use of existing looped services to continue. Or even logically tying the two smart meters together when the charger(s) self-limit via data from the home area network(s).
