None of the above benefits me personally as an end user. I don’t own an EV.

Encouraging people to move consumption away from “peak” times is a slippery slope. Next it’ll be pricing grandma out of using the heating in winter because America is fighting another proxy war and gas has gone up.

You do know that the world does not revolve around you?

Saw this point made on this subject on Reddit and it sums up the position why Smart Meters are a good thing:

The point of dynamic pricing isn't to reduce overall demand. It's to shift loads around. Peak loading is incredibly wasteful. With smart appliances (and especially the large electricity consumers like cars, water heaters, heat pumps, and dryers), it's absolutely possible to flatten and smooth out the demand curve. This is just a sensible thing to do, but without dynamic pricing, it won't happen.
