    Am I missing something here, you can’t use your own electricity during these times but you can pay silly prices down the road on a rapid charger? Surely the rapid charger is pulling from the same grid? Is this the start of ev charging getting silly?

    No, the idea is to get people to charge off peak unless they need to do otherwise, which I think is what most people already do, mainly as its more cost effective anyway.
