Then don't plug in 1 million mp3 players at the same time then.
As this would be how a smartmeter could detect and know what you

plugging in.
I do know someone that was writing an app for use with
smartmeters.

Easy enough to make your car charge unevenly to simulate other
things.

No it would't be in reality.
Sure you could just charge your car at 100ma the same as a torch, for
a
few weeks, but no one would care would they.

But we use things like kettles, tumble driers, etc. So you just make
the
car charge then stop then charge then stop, preferably at a different
level each time.

Problem with that approach is that a normal 13A charger isnt anything
like good enough for an electric car used to go to work and back every
day, and playing silly buggers like that will only make that problem
worse.

Then use more than 13A. I can take 80A into my house right now (I don't
have an electric car) without them asking me why.

IMO most wouldn't bother and would just pay the tax.

Then they're idiots, as a diesel would then cost the same (in fact less
as there's no huge battery replacement cost).

Why do people have diesel driven cars as it;'s mnore expenive than pertol
and has more harmful polutants

Because they get significantly better mpg and it ends up
cheaper to run and the engine is a lot more reliable too.

Right so all you have to do is find ways to make peolpe want electric cars and I don;t think teh govenemtn puttiung a huge tax on them to replace teh tax they lose on pertol will work.

You need to find no such thing. We should continue to use diesel until oil runs out.

But oli will always be useful don;t use it all up.

? or they make really good batteries. The only advantage now of everyone using electric is that the roads would be quieter,

and less polluting.

and I wouldn't hear the bypass when the wind is coming from the wrong direction.

Your personal problem are your own concern but I;d have less fry-ups if I were you
