Palo Alto, if my memory serves me correctly is “buying electricity” from P.G.& E., and “reselling it” to its residents. So the unanswered question is “if everyone in PA has an electric car and they all plug them in after work together, will their “grid” support the load?
My PG&E bill has a tiered rate. Baseline at so much per kilowatt hour and a higher rate for anything over that and then it raises again if you go over a certain amount. Do they raise your baselines if you have an electric car?
