And grids can relatively easily be set up to allow non-urgent loads to be turned off in case it's needed. You can have a smart charger that only charges when there's less demand, or when your own solar panels are providing surplus. If you can spread the charge time over a whole night, you don't necessarily have to be charging immediately after you get home at peak time.

    Yup! We actually have this with smart thermostats here. You sign up for a rebate when you get your smart thermostat in exchange for them being able to set it to 78 when needed.

    I don't personally have AC, and a bunch of people who didn't read anything about the rebate were salty, but I personally think it's a perfect example of everyone working together for a greater good.
