    You gotta recharge your phone battery sometime though - and if electricity had a different cost for nighttime vs. daytime, you can bet that people would choose the day option whenever possible.

    (I chose a mobile device here bc it doesn’t need any “extra” battery or technology beyond what would already normally be at hand.)

      Most places in the US have peak and off peak hours with different pricing already. Certain smart thermostats can take advantage of this for running your AC and such.
