Well yes, surely it's a condition of the EV tariff that you give them remote access to your charging station. Ditto the HP tariff from Ovo. If they have that and 30min readings from yr smart meter then the rest is the difference.

From memory, there are some get out clauses like granny cables for EVs which can be 8kW if you have a commando socket.
No one but me is going to control any of my heatpumps, immersions or storage heaters either.
