> How do you get people to only charge their cars when it's windy?

My electrical provider gave me a good discount on my fixed rate plan by letting them micromanage the charging times of my car. I tell them I need it X% charged by some time in the morning, and they'll make sure it's at that charge by that time.

If I really need to charge it right away I can still just do that, but the vast majority of the time I don't need to think about it. My car sits in the garage for many hours, there's plenty of time to optimize the charge timings.

Chances are they even pick up a lot of time where spot prices go negative, so they're making money selling it to me and buying it from the grid.
