But if the chargers are on separate circuits that only work at dead of
night, it's another case of "no Boost available", and you are in effect
rationing people to one-charge-per-day.

The basic principle is that the consumer sacrifices some control of their
demand to the supplier. For a car charging application it makes sense to do
the remote switching at the charging point/socket or in the charging circuit
of the car/battery itself. A more sophisticated solution might use wireless
networking or GPRS to provide 2-way communication. It just requires a bit of
thought ...
