CA is *already* having major problems with EV charging. On August 30, 2022, CAISO, the CA grid operator, sent out a press release urging consumers to cut electricity usage during a heatwave, including using less A/C (!), and refraining from “charging electric vehicles.” — PolitiTweet.org

The most reckless EV policy of all is CA’s, which combines outlawing new oil-fueled vehicles by 2035 *and* wrecking its grid by shutting down reliable power plants. As The Babylon Bee put it, “State With No Electricity Orders Everyone To Drive Cars That Run on Electricity.” https://t.co/9WX30NC2A7 — PolitiTweet.org

Note that EV charging is a threat to the CA grid while only a small share of CA’s over 30 million vehicles are electric and solar and wind are only a fraction of what they are supposed become. With less reliable power and far more EVs the situation would be catastrophic. — PolitiTweet.org
