Rationing is a bit of a exaggeration. Flexible contracts are becoming more common, but that's part of a longer trend, and there's a national campaign that "asks consumers to charge bikes and cars outside of the 4pm-to-9pm peak".

This is very sensible. You can't build a grid that supports a large part of the country coming home at 5pm: start the oven (and/or induction cooking), heatpump, laundry, connect the electric car all at the same time.

There are probably some cases when people have to charge a car at 5pm, but it's madness that everyone will start doing this just because that's the time they get home.

Keep in mind; 11kW charging at home is not uncommon at the Netherlands, as many homes are equipped with 400V 3 phase power.
