Stanford researchers warn against charging electric vehicles at home overnight
MSN ^ | 5 December 2024 | Joseph Shavit

The study examined how EV growth in the western United States will impact the regional electric grid by 2035. If current trends persist, with the majority of charging occurring at home overnight, peak electricity demand could surge by up to 25%.

This increase would necessitate significant investments in new generation and storage capacity, likely involving natural gas—a counterproductive measure for decarbonization efforts.

Optimizing the placement of public charging stations has been a focus of research, but long-term solutions require accurate modeling of charging behaviors, including where, when, and how frequently drivers charge their vehicles.

“””Stanford researchers warn against charging electric vehicles at home overnight””””


Well, well, well. This kinda defeats a major advantage of EV by being able to charge overnite and have a fully charged battery to drive the next morning.

“””We’re trying to force feed electric cars, when we don’t have the electrical generating capacity or grid to accommodate this.”””


Yes, they are force feeding the idiots to buy EV and then when there is insufficient electrical supply, these same idiots will go into full WHINING mode that they are being disrespected.

The subsidized payments for using Solar, Wind and EVs need to be eliminated by the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency).   Maybe Elon Musk could create a Tesla hybrid that is less likely to burn a house down.

But the real plan is to have us all live in 15 minute communities, travel by shanks’ mare, own nothing, and be happy.

It is WAY beyond infuriating that states can force their citizens to live under Commifornia laws and regulations.

Yes. It’s difficult to avoid a sniper rifle while on foot. The leftists will provide free boxcar rides.

It would be bad enough if they agreed to follow laws passed by the California General Assembly, but to follow rules promulgated by an unelected board? These states are admitting that they are no longer sovereign. Perhaps they should revert back to territories or in the case of half of them, subject to the Crown.

With a 2035 target date, that means s 10 year phase-in.
My guess is they’ll want 90% the first year, and 1% a year after that.

Visit relatives far away for Thanksgiving? I think not, citizen! Stay home and enjoy your roast crickets and tofu!

Yes. We should have started many more nuclear power plants decades ago. We need Trump to institute a fast-track plan to get them built as soon as possible.

It was 13 degrees here last night. How long would a partial charge last in this weather?

You can only get your car recharged if you live in Florida or California during winter.
