Which is better - that some lights go out when the National Grid cannot suddenly deal with the loss of a major power station - or that your (and a lot of other people's) charging is suspended for a few minutes while the National Grid get an alternative generator up and running?

To avoid jontracey's problem about cancelling the timer override function, the charging points could be instructed to reduce the charging rate to a low value rather than turning the posts off altogether.

Longer 'non-charging' times to avoid the early evening peak load is probably a task more suited to home chargers.
