It's all part of the master plan to ban individual transportation

Powerline Blog: “Meanwhile, California’s grid is so inadequate that it can’t effectively charge the tiny number of electric cars already on the road. Newsweek reports:
As temperatures hit triple digits during California’s heat wave last week, the state’s power grid operators encouraged residents to relieve pressure on the grid by charging their electric vehicles before the peak energy use times of day.

“Now is the perfect time to do a load of laundry,” the state’s Flex Alert Twitter account posted on June 18. “Remember to use major appliances, charge cars and devices before #FlexAlert begins at 6 p.m. today.”
“It is characteristic of some especially poor or war-torn third-world countries that electricity is available only intermittently during the day. California, welcome to the third world.
Patty Monahan, the lead commissioner on transportation at the California Energy Commission, told Newsweek last month that the times of day Californians choose to charge their electric vehicles will be important in keeping the power grid balanced as reliance on electric vehicles grows.

Matthew Moniot, a researcher with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, said during a recent interview with Newsweek that electric vehicle owners now mostly charge their vehicles at night, but that will likely have to change so that more drivers are charging while energy production levels are higher.
[note “have to change”]
There is a reason why EV owners charge their cars at night. It is because that is when they are not driving them. The problem is inherent, since the Sun doesn’t shine at night and winds tend to die down at night, as well. There is no real solution to the problem when EVs represent two percent of the cars on the road, let alone in the hypothetical world where they are 100 percent.
The “solution” will be to ban cars. And as I keep pointing out, the move to ban fossil fuels and internal combustion engines will be almost irreversible by 2030. Already the fossil fuel industry is being defunded, so new wells won’t be dug and old wells will shut down permanently for lack of maintenance.
Most car manufacturers are ending all R&D on future internal combustion engines and gearing up to manufacture battery ones, for which there will be no energy. The people behind this know what they’re doing; the millions of complacent idiots supporting them will only wake up and become truly “woke” when it’s too late.
