Too many EVs sucking the life out of an aged electric grid. Do you think California’s power companies would have figured that out?

SDG&E - they sooked even when Nuclear Beach was up and running. I live on the So Cal Edison Side of town. My buddy who owned a liquor store used to make bank on ice sales, when they had blackouts ;)
