Oh interesting, I hadn't considered the aspect of charging overnight while it's cheaper. Of course, the moment it starts to get popular the energy companies will be eating that particular cake too, I'm sure. Sounds like right now there's not a huge margin anyway.
I guess the energy companies have a financial incentive to run a more consistent supply if it could reduce the peak load.
Just reminded me of a brilliant BBC documentary from a while back - The Secret Life of the National Grid. I think you probably have to piece it together from clips on youtube these days.
