Existing infrastructure. Many electric companies have off-peak charging plans, where they have a lower KW cost to charge in the evening and overnight. I have an off-peak plan, I set up my Model 3 to start charging at 10pm.
Before COVID, when I drove the kids to school, I had the car setup to start charging on its own, to be done by 8am to take the kids to school. (off peak doesn't end until 11am for this area). It knew the charging rate, how much charge was required and figured out when to start charging. Also, it would warm up the car so it was toasty and ready to go at 8am.
