Yes, that's a very good point. Imagine if every house in the street was
charging its electric car(s) overnight -- it's pretty unlikely that the
local sub-station and wiring could handle the load. It may be OK if just
one or two houses use 13amp sockets, but not if the whole street is
doing it for hours on end.

Also I wonder how many house fires they might end up causing if a few
hundred amps is put through ancient wiring for 12 hours without a break.
