sorry mate, but smart meters allow total flexibility for different time zones for charging or for extra charging rates when higher current being drawn. Non of which was possible with standard metering techniques, the most that could be achieved with that was simple "peak rate" or "off peak rate".
With smart meters a whole gamut of pricing regimes are possible
That was pretty obvious to all except the extremely gullible
I agree, but that's not what you said earlier, only about them knowing. Nowt about cheap electric at night or when there is excess in the grid. I think I did say that a couple of years or more ago Jim,
The technical ability was there in the system and it seemed obvious to me from the start that sooner or later. the pricing structure/times would end up being used to spread the load by a scale of charges. No commercial organisation would be likely miss out on such an opportunity
With the old system they would have to visit every property to adjust the times but with smart metering it can be done remotely and very easily and as often as they want.

a/ smaller cars with smaller engines b/ less cars c/ lower use of remaining cars All easily achievable with simple fiscal measures. Just for example: a Ā£5,000 a year 'road fund licence' for large suv's along with a doubling of road fuel duty. No exemptions for single mothers, black people, the disabled, homosexuals, immigrants, hard working families with children, gender non-specific people, families of victims of Grenfell and Hillsborough tragedies.Ā what exemptions, you are building a man of straw to look brave (or ridiculous) tilting at it. We need to get rid of IC cars full stop. As soon as. Suck it up, buttercup. We need more IC cars and bikes with loud engines and wheel spinning power. They make me smile and Iām gonna burn every drop of petrol I can. Il stop burning petrol when planes are grounded and coal power etc is banned from our world.

Nothing to suck up, I don't drive a gas guzzling car. Neither do I, I use my ebike mostly, the car rarely gets used, we will look at a hybrid or electric when this one dies. I don't own a car. Do you expect the government to pay for your eventual replacement car?

Not a lot of point having a car if it isn't used!

That's quite a good point and you made it very well.
