Si le réseau est surchargé par une chaude journée d’été, par exemple, le système pourrait modifier le calendrier de chargement. Les consommateurs pourraient indiquer qu’ils veulent que leur voiture soit entièrement chargée pour 6 h du matin, par exemple, et bénéficier ainsi des tarifs d’heures creuses. 1, record 4, French, - chargement%20intelligent
