EV Charging in England

Gary Tulie writes from his home office in Buckinghamshire, England, a bit northwest of London:

Hi Craig,

This is how the market is going for EV charging in the UK.  Smart chargers are enabling very favourable charging tariffs - about a third of the usual price of residential electricity. 
This is enabled by telling the charger when you need your car charged by, and letting the supplier decide when to do the charging. 

Thanks.  Very good news.  The price of electricity isn't a huge driver of the EV market in the U.S., but a program like this certainly can't hurt.

One hopes that this works out such that the charging is done with renewable energy, e.g., choosing to charge in the middle of the day when solar is abundant.
