Oh No, the sky is falling! Must slow EV adoption

Recommended Posts

California's electrical grid has an EV problem (msn.com)

I do want to give credit to the author for him stating [very far down in the article] that if we just adjust the time where "everyone" charges, the grid can handle the added load placed on it by EVs. 

Maybe electrical grid operators should actually incentivize the use of wind/solar AND batteries instead of trying everything to limit it's usage by private customers while at the same time complaining about the increased grid usage.

Yep.  And it would be worth noting that that's what people are doing now anyway.
