Yeah I think we are entering a short era where those with a home power bank, or electric car can make some gains by being very flexible with their demands. Possibly even make money if you still have an export tariff from years back.
. know various folk on new new estates that can't get decent chargers fitted as local grid basically won't support it

I mean, using 18kw during that session saves us about £5.40.
If you have a large, easily controllable battery and the octopus agile tariff, you could fill the battery when you could at the very low prices <3p/kw, and export at high demand times and sell at >30p/kw.
We have the fixed 15p/kw tariff which is excellent in combination with the overnight 7p intelligent octopus tariff.
Any excess solar gets sold, all our home use is from the battery, and car gets charged overnight.We've been paying £25 a month for the last 18 months or so for gas and electric. (covers standing charges) and carrying over £500 credit into the colder months.

Octopus had a free 1 hour of electricity today between 1-2pm.
Not sure I had many more things I could run/charge:
