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.

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.

It’s fun seeing someone with so little understanding of electricity spreading the misinformation someone else fed them.

Most houses existing panel have the capacity for a level 2 charger.

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?

If it’s permanently installed it’s potential needs to be accounted for at all times, there is some conditionals, like ignoring AC during winter, but there’s nothing for intermittent loads, since it can still potentially be done at anytime.
