There are apps that track the prices and can automatically "trigger" charging when it's cheaper.

Found these examples by quickly googling:

EDIT: to answer the question: yes, these apps use something called "Nord Pool" which publishes hourly electricity prices (in Swedish): https://elavtal24.com/blogg/tibber-greenely/
