It’s a publicity stunt to show off how they’re trying to actively balance power generation, use and storage. I get it in stereo from them with an EV charging tariff, they want the car plugged in at all times when it’s at home so they can dump excess power into it, and they have some gimmick involving cartoon fish in the app that’s supposed to amount to additional off-peak charging hours if I’m a good boy.
