For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I don't know the answer to your question dwil, but having a smart meter has allowed us to charge my electric car for an hour, three times in the last two weeks, completely free. Without a smart meter knowing when our usage happens, we wouldn't have received an email telling us what time the free hourly periods were.
To put it another way, we have have obtained 135 miles of driving absolutely free...what's not to like?
I now know that it is much cheaper to set my washing machine to 40 cotton than any other cycle (the 20 minute quick cycle isn't cheap); my main oven isn't as expensive to use as I thought, much cheaper than the figures given in those comparisons with air fryers; my induction hob is cheaper than the electric kettle; the eco setting on my dishwasher uses half the electricity of the regular cycle....it all adds up.
