"California’s grid operator is telling residents not to charge their electric cars during regular heat waves in order to avoid straining the grid.

Residents have been advised to take voluntary energy cuts, including setting their thermostats to 78 degrees Fahrenheit and not charging their electric cars. This is because the “demand for electricity remains high and there is less solar energy available.” It turns out you can’t run a state of roughly 39 million people entirely on solar panels. Who could have guessed?"

let the games begin...

'sorry I can't make it to work today - car isn't charged up'

Step 1: Ban ICE car sales
Step 2: Ban charging of EVs
Step 3: ?

But, but, all the upcoming mandated electric vehicles…. Irony much?

Worth remembering that California is the largest importer of electricity in the United States, bringing in 71% of its electricity from beyond the state’s borders (2020 numbers). They still don’t have enough.

Essentially could care less because they have brought this down on themselves.. They made their bed of roses now they can go sleep on the thorns. .......................................... drill sgt.

Wow! How the hell does CA talk about going green before it's even self sufficient? That's just full blown moronic - full retard.

How's this - everyone in CA w/ solar and surplus energy (ie - positive net true up) should turn on the AC on full at night, opening windows if needed to warm up the house. Let's load up the system and make them think twice about the viability of green.

Cali buys a lot of power from TVA’s Kingston Fossil Plant (coal burner) every day. Among others.

They just think they’re green. Makes them feel better.

Every planet needs an asshole

California won't let you charge the electric car it wants to force you to buy

That's a surprisingly honest title from MSN, for once. Of course their just linking a Washington examiner article, sooo...

By the way, we're banning gas vehicles.
By the way, charging your vehicle is prohibited

Look at China. Communism always starts with a few million bicycles.

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are. The irony is sweet.

Agree but millions of them moved here and I wish they’d go the fuck back.

Are these people freaking serious? Or just straight up effing with us? WTF?

The idiocy of leftist loons in Kali government knows no bounds.

I think their thought process is people can't flee Kommiefornia if they can't fully charge that EV and you can't hook up a U haul lol.

And how many of those are demonrat run?

Yea. But it's different when you make that decision while importing SEVENTY, nanajyu, setenta, 70% of your electricity from other states.

If I bought an EV, I would depend on OTHER states to supply me with 7 out of every 10W to charge it.

I wonder how to spell stupid in spanish. Gavin must know.
