I can't think of a single advantage, except for the car charging thing
that someone mentioned. Indeed, that seems to be the sole reason for the
push to make people have them. So that charging times can be somewhat
controlled.



Its not a question of €ścontrolling€ť it, its just makes it much more
affordable if you have a significant consumption that you can time-shift to
an off-peak period.
