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

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

Imagine if, during the CA blackouts of 2020 or the TX blackouts of 2021 these grids were both far more dependent on unreliable solar+wind *and* had a massive fleet of EVs that needed charging. Imagine the death toll and economic damage. That’s where our policies are taking us. — PolitiTweet.org
