Not going to work in sunny California, where solar power is a way more viable option if you’re talking about charging an electric car or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).

What does Revolt mean right now? It means powering your electric vehicle with 100% wind energy at no extra cost.

In other words, "no change", just feel good crap.

How do they route the electrons generated from wind energy differently than from other sources. They all flow down the same wires, don’t they?

Easy, they just look for the green ones and send them your way... /S

“What does Revolt mean right now? It means powering your electric vehicle with 100% wind energy at no extra cost.”

That’s actually false advertising. Unless wind is 100% of the fuel mix it will never be possible.

GRE is in the MISO footprint. As I write this post wind is 4.2% of the MISO fuel mix. You NEVER see wind over 20%.
