they’ll make it mandatory...

Is this anything like a perpetual motion machine. The loop must be from electric generator company to EV to user then back to generator company for fill up of EV.
I don’t see how this alleviates much of the pressure on the generator company to provide for the grid.

If they were to do this, watch for an increase in the number of EV fires in garages in the state.
I wasn't considering that but I think you're on to something.

"But if the cars charge the grid, that won't the cars be without power to drive on the roads?" Pfft. Just a technicality.
All they have to do is plug in their perpetual motion power machine and they will be all set.

“Experts” and “authorities” in California are working on legislation to repeal the first law of thermodynamics.
That’s how this will work.

Hey perpetual machines never work ... oh wait, ten to one the way the internet has been taken over by advertisers and scammers I’d almost bet you will see this for sale on it in about a week.

Best move he made was working out and getting 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.

Insurers should cancel homeowners’ policies if implemented due to fire risk.

I think it's time for the officials of PG&E to learn some basic physics...like the "Conservation of Energy" principle.

13 Hours is such a great movie. True heroes in a world of cowards.

"...Nonetheless, PG&E’s 2030 Climate Strategy Report has a goal for the grid "to quickly and safely power at least 3 million EVs— or about 12,000 GWh of EV-related electric load." Two million of those EVs are being sought for "vehicle-grid integration (VGI) applications, allowing EVs to be a cornerstone of both electric reliability and climate resilience for PG&E customers broadly..." I have never heard of anything so asinine in my life. This is a little scary.
So, these people who put out this statement above, are somehow being treated seriously by the company that employs them, the state that regulates them, and the people who need their power?
This statement is no more valid than a statement that Unicorn Dust will bring it all together and make it work.
These people are dangerously incompetent and deranged.

So, what’s the loss converting AC to DC, and then back again?

People will charge their car at work.
Run their home during the day on solar panels.
Run their home during the night on the car battery.
Disconnect their home from the grid.
