I love this tech and these cars. But the enviros has made it so that in Calif we're already skating close to the edge in summer, and even at other times.

What if 1 million people started charging such cars?

It would turn the state dark, yes. No question about it.

Have you ever wondered that maybe THAT is the goal?..............

When I lived in Taxachusetts 20 years ago, rolling blackouts were a fact of life in the summer. They just didn’t have enough power for the populace. Corporations would be required to cut to 50% power and even 0% use at times. Made for an unproductive workday.

Plugging in at night, something like 70% of the United States vehicles could be charged using the current infrastructure.
