Mine are only charged via the PV panels. I would hope that within 10 years battery recycling has imporoved otherwise the EV is dead & my two 2.4kW batteries will be a pin prick vs car batteries.

I see Peter charging his batteries off peak no different to night storage heaters or folk who run appliance overnight on timers. They help load balance & reduce peaks in the day that would mean additional fossil fuel powered generation.
