I'll note that right now, this is a seasonal issue, associated with moderate springtime temperatures when there is a lot of sunshine available.

This is exactly what Octopus Energy are doing in the UK. You tell them when you need your car charged by and they schedule it to happen (usually overnight) so that it's done by then.

Rather than laying 30p/kwh you pay 7p/kwh.

You can of course tell it to just charge, and pay the usual rate.
