When Do Electric Cars Really Charge? All At The Same Time

Interesting article, thanks Nikki - I'm not sure that Mueller Texas is a typical community for evaluating charging patterns. Mueller is atypical due to a high concentration of solar installed as well as having additional unique community renewable energy production. I believe the residents are familiar with their energy sources and I would bet that knowledge influences their behavior. Their thoughts might be "Hey, I've got PV on the roof I'm plugging in while the sun is high!". In addition, and as you state, there are no time of day energy consumption incentives. While I'm glad to see this type of information being gathered, I believe Mueller is really too small to be a good sample set (I think I ready they have 38 GM Volts).
