What if, though, you were really smart about it and you said, right, I'm only going to run the dishwasher, the clothes washer and potentially the dryer during the free period? Could that shift the scale a bit?

Gavin DuftyGUEST
So you'd want to be able to shift quite a lot into that free period and you'd want to be really disciplined about it because if you all of a sudden a couple of days a week shifted back into the other period, you get hoovered up by the increased costs in the other time zones.

Gavin DuftyGUEST
So I look at it and think if you're disciplined, you've got an electric vehicle or you've got a home battery, it could work for you.

Tom ElliottHOST
Because when you think about it, like, I mean, you know, turning the lights on, like, if you have all the lights on in the house, I mean, you don't really need to do that in the middle of the day, but you do need to do it first thing in the morning and in the evening, particularly in the winter months.
