Who charges overnight? Everyone just plugs it in when they get home. It’s an issue that can’t just be handwaved away like that.
Sure stuff can be on a timer, but codes need to be presented, adopted and they need to installed. That takes years, it’s already too late.
Dude, electric car’s are about 25 computers on wheels. Adding a “charge between hours” function is so trivial I would be surprised if it doesn’t already exist. But no, you’re right, computers are a complicated pipe dream, we should all go back to coal burning, steam powered, difference engines and horseless carriages.
Codes and standards need to adopt those functions, right now there is only a couple of code complaint ways to deal with it on a panel end.
Can you explain why that matters if the hardware at the charger could initiate and control all that?
I own an EV and there’s definitely a setting in the car to specify what time of day to charge (and my charger itself also has an app where I can specify that time restriction).
Panel and code calculations don’t care about those yet and it’s going to be a long time until they do.
