Here is one, and yes you can encourage people to charge at night because off peak hours would be cheaper and thus save them money. By the way I was being sarcastic with the commi statement.

Sorry, I didn't see a sarcasm smilie, lol. No big deal. I wonder what "advanced metering initiatives" really means though.

""Rate design to encourage off-peak charging, coupled with time-of-use rates, and smart grid/advanced metering initiatives, would facilitate favorable charging behavior," it said." It also mentioned the compatibility of night time charging with wind power but never mentions if there's enough wind turbines available to fuel the need.
