Kind of shoots down my first thought, which was charge up an EV, do all the household washing, and charge up a massive 50kWh lead acid batt on 'freeday'.

Mart.

Nah, there's ways and means around it, get a good neighbour on the same tariff but opposite free day and borrow their free leccy(or visa versa) with the use of a nice long extension

Hmm! Do you really want to send me off on another epic ponder? :think:

Forgetting the EV, I've already worked out this morning, that my 50kWh (25kWh useable) lead acid batt would leave me only having to import 5 to 10kWh per week in December and January, and nothing the rest of the year.

If I could get that for £3k or so (...... and persuade Wifey that having a couple of tonnes of batts potentially venting hydrogen in the garage is ok) then certainly food for thought. :idea:

So, what would their antisocial policy make of that import profile. If they're looking out for 11%+, and I have a 5kWh 6.5 days v's 40kWh 0.5 days pattern ..... 89%!
