This seems to be aimed at EV users. I hope it helps some people out there save some money on their power.

We have a chaotic schedule, without boring everyone with the details, we often end up running the big appliances like laundry washer/dryer, and dishes with the dish washer during wee hours.

The estimator shows we’d save 15 bucks out of 1150 per year if we switch. I don’t think we’ll be switching because at less than $2/mn, I’d rather have the flexibility of never having to think about when I’m turning things on/off.

Unless you’ve got something that draws a lot of power (ie an EV), and you can schedule it to take advantage the discounted hours, it’s unlikely to be beneficial even if people change their entire routine around.
