With lower night rates when do you think most charging will take place?
Possibly at night while you sleep and the load on the grid has 50% excess capacity?
In your state (CA) the government is mandating 35% solar and wind in the next few years. Wind is less at night and solar is none at night. Night charging will be coming from fossil fuels or nuclear in some areas. Why not just put the energy dense fuel in the vehicle directly and cut out the inefficiencies of converting it to electricity and then losing large amounts to transmission losses?
