My Volt (and I assume other EVs) has a setting to charge when power is cheaper.
You can get time of use billing at home. Only makes sense if you have solar panels or storage batteries or some such.

I have real time pricing from my utility. It works out well because we charge 2 electric cars overnight for a fraction of what they would cost to charge at the standard fixed kilowatt-hour rate. My house is heated by natural gas; I don’t think the savings would be there if I also was heating my house with electricity as I live in the midwest, where it gets cold as fuck for the winter.
