Resident know it alls are well known.
want one!
Right, only charge during the day at home and you’ll never have time to drive it. Green!
It’s gonna be a disaster. When all the gas-powered cars are gone and everybody plugs in their EV at night, when the Sun is not shining on the solar panels.
There will be severe restrictions on time/quantity/duration of charging. It will be a nightmare.
Compounding this is the fact that batteries lose power gradually when they are not in use. The charge leaks away. So if you park your EV for a month and go on vacation, it will have lost a portion of the power that you have already paid for.
All predictable, and the public is totally unaware of it.
Tell us what kind of cars to buy. Tell us how to fuel them. Tell us when to fuel them.

The leftist and their green schemes will create total control and chaos from coast to coast .
People aren’t going to limit the times and places where they charge their cars. They’re going to have an expectation that their cars can be charged any time and at any place where it is parked for several hours at a time.
I will continue to recharge my car at the gas station in about 5 minutes.
None? Some?
I don't like to interrupt batteries while they're charging.
Why don’t these CA geniuses just require all EV’s to have solar panel hoods, roofs, and trunks? Maybe even some roof mounted wind turbines that would solve all their problems. /sarc
Seems like a pretty simple solution.
You have an EV and you hook it up to the grid at night, pay a surcharge. Extra $200 a month
OR
At purchase, an attestation that they’re buying the EV for climate change then they sign a document that they have to convert their homes, 100%, to solar in 18 months and that is the only way they can charge their toy cars. If they fail to do that, $1000 a month climate change fine
Today, California has excess electricity during late mornings and early afternoons, thanks mainly to its solar capacity.
So rather than charging at night to even the load for sources like gas, coal, nuclear or hydroelectric which are most efficient when run at a constant rate, we'll have to live our lives based on the vagaries of solar power.
Reminds me of that Freeper we used to see, Willie Green...:)
The problem is not an EV
The problem is California. Sane folks should leave California and move to America. In California all have lost control of their own destinies
Morning, noon or night. EVs are powered by electricity created by the burning of fossil fuels: tinyurl.com/5yc3jfz2

Don't worry. Your social credit score will be too low for you to be allowed to own a car.
Haha. Nice.
I’ll be lucky if they let me on the fricking bus.
No way, I would not trust an employers charging station being available and usable. Also I will never in my life time use and drive an electric vehicle - EVER
