abstract={Europe's energy system of today and tomorrow requires flexibility to enhance resilience, integrate low-cost renewables, avoid or delay expensive grid upgrades, and ultimately reduce costs for all energy system users. The good news is that by smartly charging an electric vehicle (EV), and smartly heating water and/or a home, the electrification of transport and heating opens up new money and carbon saving opportunities for consumers and energy systems through flexible consumption.  In a new survey we found 480 tariffs and services that allow Europeans to adapt their EV or heat pump to (static or dynamic) time-varying energy and grid tariffs, their own rooftop solar generation, the current grid mix and local or national grid situations. This almost threefold increase shows that flexible electricity use is gaining traction. There is a market for this, and an increasing choice for users.},
