My PHEV actually charges during peak solar and after midnight.
Most with EVS and solar I know either charge mid day during peak solar or set the charge timer for super off peak late at night to avoid fees.
Also Given EVs are such a small percentage of vehicles (under 3000 statewide) in my case you would expect to see different usuage patterns in non Bev states versus the 2 or 3 with Bev states that have around 1% passenger cars plug in.
But you actually see very little difference between states with and without EVs there is a seasonal difference in states with real seasons and farm usuage is different but nothing due to plug ins yet.
One would hope Most plug in users would chase pennies by offsetting use But some states (like mine) penalize you too much for you to break even.
