I have noticed that a cheap tariff is available for electric vehicle charging, something around 9.5p per KwH.
Am I the only one who thinks that there should be an opportunity to take advantage of cheaper tariffs, but not to the extent you make a profit, so for example if you are selling back to the grid a reasonable cost might be 9.5p per KwH plus price per KwH of sell back to the grid.
It will reduce the demand for electricity during the day, using the surplus (assumed) at night - I have no idea if this idea is commercially viable but as an individual I would like to see it.

Anyone else think it's a good idea?
There already is this possibility - people with solar/batteries can already join the Drive tariff(7hrs at 6.7p) - I think this is until the special solar battery tariff becomes available 👍
Of course its a good idea. How much energy do you use in the daytime (not nightime) , work out how big a battery you would need to cover normal daytime usage plus a margin. Then research the cost of such a battery and work out how long, at a reasonable differential between night time and day time pricing, it would take to recover the battery cost and installation.
When i worked it out I'd save £260 in energy costs per annum and gave up at that point, as it would never pay for itself. You still have to pay for the night time electricity and the standing charge which tends to make it a non starter. Of course if battery costs came down...........
