No Worries!

In Kalifornia, they are mandating bidirectional EV charging “to strengthen the Grid.” You’re asleep in your home. You think you are charging your EV for the morning commute. Some government apparatchik decides they need the electricity more than you do. When you awake in the morning, your EV is only charged to 20%. Oh well, you can just use the bus.

They want to use all of the electricity in all the EVs “when needed.”

The classic “from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.”

Mandate the EV, and take the electricity whenever you want. Lovely.

What could possibly go wrong?

Reminds me of when the Prius hybrid was new. It was considered the “correct” vehicle, saving the planet and all of the usual rotgut.

So, the Kalifornia democRATS decided to “reward” the Prius owners. They let the Prius drivers use the carpool lane, even if there was a only one person in the Prius.

Later, the government that giveth, the government that taketh away decided to rescind that “gift” of using the carpool lane.
