Re:Ask HN: Should I turn off my idle machine over the weekend? by Symbiote on Friday September 27, 2019 @02:41PM (#21094973)
I received an email from the power company last month, announcing they were moving to a time based tariff.

It's not a new idea for me, my previous country has had this for decades.

But the email suggested setting the dishwasher to run overnight, and charging my phone and electric car overnight.

One of these is not like the others. The saving would be a about 40ยข/year.

The phone example had been removed from the website, so at least someone noticed. But someone working at the power company wrote that email...
