So plug in before you go to bed, instead of when you get home from work.
I wonder if charges can be configured to wait for a given time to begin charging. That way you could plug in your car whenever you want, but still get the benefit of waiting.
How smart are standard level 2 chargers and cars? As I understand it, you can recoup about 25 miles of range per hour with a Lvl 2, so most people would only need to charge for a few hours per night. Can these systems negotiate with grid and charge at the ideal time?
