[QUOTE="Gian, post: 526562, member: 33562"] You have to manage your use. We use timers on our appliances many have delayed timers built in. We do this to maximise our saving buy using as much of the economy 7 rates. So washing machine ,dishwasher , ev charging, sauna are all going on in the e7 times. We even have chest freezer on timers to switch off at midnight and come back on at 6 am this is also for our American fridge freezer. We go as far to even make bread ready for morning and cook using pressure cookers during these times. In the summer it's not so bad as we have 10kw solar so ev would charge just using solar and timers would switch to day as long as we know weather is good. It's about what you want out of it. For me I don't want to pay for electric lol. [/QUOTE]
