Scheduling a car charge overnight is very easy. I can do it on my phone. On
a fixed rate tariff I would have been paying about 15p per kWhr. Last
night I was paying less than 1p per kWhr for about 40 kWhr of leccy.

Silly question as I don't have a smart meter but... if the tariff is set
low and significant numbers of users switch stuff on, won't this trigger
a tariff change?

Not a silly question. I dont think the tariff is changed dynamically like
this for domestic users. Octopus do the sums, look at the tea leaves,
check the bit of seaweed hanging from the nail and make their predictions
of demand on this and give you notice of the charges next 24 hrs.

As more and more people move to smart meters and EVs, Im sure off peak
charges will rise.
