| Abstract | This article considers the interplay between new smart grid technologies and households’ everyday practices. The research focuses on how Electric Vehicles and Dynamic Pricing influence Danish households’ everyday life and how these technologies constitute and change routines and practices of consumption. The basic assumption is that new technologies influence social practices in households’ everyday life. The empirical material, mainly consist of qualitative interviews with Danish households who had test-driven Electric Vehicles and participated in Project Dynamic Pricing, is analysed with the analytical concept offered by the Social Practice Theory. Overall, the case-study demonstrates that the smart grid technologies influence the ‘way of driving’ and changed the temporal patterns of consumption in the families during the test period. The investigation contribute to a more complex and multi-facetted consideration of the interplay between households’ social practices and new smart-grid technologies and thereby helping to fill out the lack of research on the integration of peak-shaving technologies in the end-user design. |
