Having fun poking Barbara’s the Brit government, but truthfully this proposed tax goes right along with social credit score and other leftist programs for alternative energy. It is actually humorous to watch the socialists in government realize that EV’s are not paying their fair share of fuel tax, as if they weren’t told before!! The leftist attempts to shift tax burden to everyone but reduce their own greenie machines is coming home robust. The easy answer is to just quit the greenie nonsense and recognize there is no climate crisis just a bunch of ninnies who can’t take normal weather.

I think we mastered load shedding controllers for off-peak electricity in the 1950s. When I was a kid everyone's hot water heater, and the big electric storage heater at one end of our house were switched off at peak times by the power company using audio tones. You would hear them from any device that had a transformer or a motor that was running at the time - including the power meter if you happened to be standing near it. I'm sure that kind of thing would be easily incorporated into home EV chargers.
