[QUOTE="user 36398, post: 544858, member: 36398"] Peak / Off Peak tariffs are not new, been around for as long as I can remember. Was known as Economy 7. So this off peak pricing is not just some modern fad. But I do see your logic, if everyone had electric cars charging at night, would that mean it's now peak, and will therefore increase prices. The thing is electric demand is never flat, and will likely never be flat. It's not always windy, & not always sunny, turbines take time to come online / offline etc. etc. With a battery you would be in a position to take advantage even if off peak times changed. Octopus even have a tariff were you can purchase plunge priced electric, with this people have even been known to get paid for taking electricity off the grid. It's called Agile Octopus, but because of the current energy crisis might be one to avoid for now, but when things settle again might be worth a look. [/QUOTE]
