You seem to have missed this in the text you snipped:
q
Under the plans all homes would need to have a third generation smart
meter installed, to include a function that allows meters in the home to
receive and carry out orders made by the energy networks.
/q


Its going to need more than a smart meter to carry out these orders.


No,. They simply disconnect the premises


Hmm, it seems that you were so busy enjoying a rant that youve forgotten
what you said earlier.

If passed unchallenged, these modifications to the law would mean that
electric vehicle owners could plug in at the end of the day and wake up
without sufficient charge to travel the next morning.

Similarly, central heating systems could be turned off in homes across a
whole area if too many electric vehicles are plugged in to charge at once,
for example.

Besides, isnt remote disconnection already theoretically possible with the
present smart meters? No need for a newer smart meter than those already
available if disconnection is the only action to be taken.
