when everybody is charging their electric cars, that will become peak

And the greenies are advocating that charging cars can _only_ happen
when the wind blows or the sun shines!

You've made that up.


No, it was on news at 10?? the other day. The greenies see this as the
solution to storing (excess) energy from solar and wind turbines by
using the batteries in electric cars. It was suggested that with smart
power distribution that cars couldn't be charged if there was
insufficient output from renewable green energy generators.

Will I have to dash out and unplug my PHEV when it's full, so that Doris
down the road doesn't start sucking charge out of it for her
tumble-drying before I set off for work?

No, not unless you have agreed to the sale of your electricity.

However you may have your charger switched off when Doris switches on
her dryer. Or pay more for using electricity at peak demand.
