Please explain. I know nothing about EV life.

Plug EVERYONE in at night, and start charging.

Electricity is magic, till it isn't.

I had to explain to one of my next door neighbors why plugging an 11 amp draw porch heater into a 15 amp residential circuit shared with a bank of grow lights drawing 6 amps wasn't a real good idea - especially since part of the circuit was buried in an old log sill plate, and you couldn't inspect that part - which was also old wiring from the 1960s.

Electrical is one of the most simple parts of your home mechanical plant - yet people don't understand most of it beyond plugging in an appliance.

“Plug EVERYONE in at night, and start charging. Electricity is magic, till it isn’t.”


Night time perfect time to plug EV’s in when electrical use is lower and they will plug them in on the weekend to charge for work on Monday and the rest of the week.

Per US Energy Admin:

The least amount of electricity is consumed at night when most people sleep. ... U.S. electricity consumption is generally lower on weekends and holidays than it is during the weekdays because many commercial offices are closed and less electricity is required for lighting and computer equipment.Feb 21, 2020
