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

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

EVs should be free to compete on the free market, but should not be forced on us whatsoever. This way, they will proliferate only when 1) we can afford them and 2) the grid can handle them. Instead of being the existential risk to our grid that they are today. — PolitiTweet.org
