    With smart night rates similar to PV export rates are people considering to export all surplus during the day and just charge the car at night. While all night rates are similar to export rates and some middle night rates like Nightboost are about 50% of the export rate.

    Sounds like it would

    1. Be cheaper
    2. More efficient to charge for 1 hour at 7.5kW than 5 hours at 1.5kW
    3. Uses up wind energy when grid demand is low
    4. Supplements grid when demand is high

    One consideration is income tax on any exports over €200.......Will than ever be enforced or collected ?
