I'm aware of variable pricing, but how variable does it need to get to truly discourage usage? If we're already butting up against capacity, that suggests that only a few people need to make a choice to pay a higher price to really fuck shit up. The variable rate will have to be extreme to make a difference when you're talking about millions of EVs all deciding when not to charge simultaneously.
