The article in question doesn't mention forced cutoffs. And for blackouts only mentions 4-9 which is basically when no EV is actually charging.

No it's not

It's is. Hardly anyone charges between those hours.

So now I get home and park and have to wait around until 9pm to go plug it in. No thanks!

You plug it in when you get home and have the Tesla app schedule charging to begin at 2am.

Technology is hard for some people.

Just get the safe vaccine to protect yourself and your family to get the shot or your fired.

It's 4-9 now. Soon it could be alternating days.

---

Most EV's only need to charge every few days. Keep trying.

---

Not trying to be an ass about EVs. Thanks for missing the point. Overreach is rampant.

Let me know how it goes, probably a lot like vaccines and covid lockdowns. You know, we "encourage" you now, then we demand you, and then we fine you.

I agree, no mandate should have a caveat...
As the EVs increase the 4-9 will stretch to noon-midnight and finally you can only charge your EV from 1 am to 2 am.
Home generator sales will spike. That would be one way around the mandate.

You mean like this:
&canvas=1&quality=100&min_w=450&min_h=320&ck=428
That uses natural gas/diesel/propane

Not CA, but I believe we will see more of this near term.

Car charged 10 hrs overnight and battery level only increased by 20%

Can't wait until they all have EVs.

And that would be fine just like it is today. I don't care if somebody wants to drive an electric car, but that's not what the Democrats want. They think everyone can do this. Or probably don't think everybody can do this they're trying to pretend everybody can do this to satisfy their dumbass base.

For a state to actually say in 13 years they expect all the cars to be electric is not only stupid, it literally can't happen. Especially when that same state not three days apart made that announcement and then ask people not to charge cars and cut down on the electrical use. It's like a Monty Python skit. Again the end goal is control. When, where and how much people can drive. In theory it's no different than their bull**** vaccine or masks mandates.

CONTROL.

And given that climate control doesn't exist the whole thing is pointless anyway.

Nothing wrong with gas, oil or coal. Fossil fuels are awesome.

Just wait to some of these climate change idiots realize everything they deal with, wear and use on a daily basis are made from fossil fuels.

Just make sure you don't say wrong things in public or your car will be disabled from charging at all.

It's not nice to delight in the stupidity of others, but when the others live in CA it's acceptable.

If we actually lived in a free thinking nation of adults, this would end this moronic debate on the spot. Sadly we don't. The mass adoption of EV's and green energy is literally the death knoll of the West.

What if there is a blackout? You just miss your meeting, interview, big client presentation or court date tomorrow?

I guess your boss/client/the judge will understand. Uber? Maybe, but he has an EV too and suffered the same fate.

I have everything ready to go for tomorrow by no later than the end of my workday today. I can't imagine depending on something happening in the middle of the night for me to be able to function tomorrow. I have a portable power option for my phone or tablet if my power went out and my phone didn't charge overnight, and my laptop, if needed, could always be plugged in. But if I couldn't actually START my car, I'm not sure what I'd do.

What's gonna happen when it's ALL electric cars someday?

Just days after passing a ban on all new gas vehicles starting in 2035, California has had to ask their Tesla and other electric vehicle owners to stop plugging their cars in because they can't spare the electricity.

These people need to go live in Germany. They won't be able to drive and they will freeze.

Tbh,
I don't see the issue with asking people to voluntarily not charge between 4-9pm temporarily during this "heat wave"

Butttttt, it does point to bigger problems and at what point does it become mandatory, and then every other day, etc.

They are requesting now.

Can't wait to see what is next.

The idiocy of this situation is a perfect example of the death of competency.

It does show one thing, EV's are impacting their grid. 25% of which comes from other states.

Idiots

I'll not pass a good opportunity to laugh at California myself.
The idea of not having new gas powered cars in 13 years is naive and not gonna happen. Or the demand for used cars will skyrocket. The market will determine the solution to bad legislation one way or the other.

But the technology, when it becomes affordable, is pretty neat. To have the hot Texas sun charge a battery that can then charge a car or offset home energy....or feed the grid is something I hope improves.

The messaging isn't limited to EVs, these authoritarians want you to avoid using your stove, washer, dryer, AC, the whole kit n kaboodle. The infrastructure is not there for rudimentary basic standard of Summer living, let alone for the world our WEF overlords have instore.

I am curious how we can refill a gasoline car during a blackout to make the same meeting if you are low on fuel? Last time I checked, those pumps run on electricity.

The real stupidity is all of the renewable mandates without a plan to keep the grid secure from which all of modern society depends on outages not occurring.
