It’s already happening. I just heard from an old friend whose son lives in Portland. He told me of how his son was really smug about buying a Tesla — until he discovered that *charging* the blasted thing puts him way over his quota for electricity usage, and he has to pay a premium rate for all those excess kilowatts he’s consuming.

I see that too on the EV forums (as an owner of an EV car and ICE pickup I frequent forums on tips for EV owners). All the EV warmageddonist cult members are raging about power rates going up. But unfortunately they blame the "evil" "big power" companies instead of government making it harder for power utilities to do their job dependably and efficiently.
