And in California today, there was an official request that owners not charge their EVs due to an electricity shortage during a heatwave. I was tempted to charge my EV while watering my lawn, both of which are now frowned upon in California.

Siri, what is a perverse incentive?
It saddens me to see a state with so much to offer be decimated by overbearing government.

How brave of you! I was a simp and let the man run my AC until they politely asked to save electricity, let them turn it off for 2 hours (during which I could have turned it back on, unfortunately the temperature only went up 1 degree), and my compliance was rewarded with a $10 gift card for ice cream. Next time I’ll try it your way.
Double chocolate chip?
How come CA always got some sort of issue going on?
They’re asking EV owners to only charge between 4 pm and 9 pm.
I think it should be NOT (between 4pm and 9pm), Jalopnik is such garbage lol. Who charges their car between 4 and 9pm anyways.

Honestly, that was also all happening prior to IRA 2022 too.
They need to move to a place like Texas, home of the free where natural disasters and power grid problems are a thing of the past and water is aplenty!
Oh wait

Power and Water’s been fine.
The influx of Texans to California proves how much better California is.
Oooooh scary. Mega drought. Quick someone propose a trillion dollar tax increase to solve this problem. Oh and new 100k federal bureaucracy to manage it all. Probably should arm them all just in case.
Hey by the way wasn’t Florida supposed to be under water by 2020? ‘Sup with that?

But bro, you’re saving the environment!!
Well not really since the environmental cost of mining the elements for the battery and then disposing of the battery is atrocious. But you get to virtue signal to your neighbors, so that’s cool.
