These people have truly lost their minds. My fear is that they are gonna run Newsom instead of Biden and they will cheat again to install him. It’s all over for this country if we lose in ‘24.

Residential solar already does this.

That is literally using a battery to charge itself.

What PGE hopes to do is to charge up cars during the day and then say use a goodly amount of the car battery power to power the PGE grid at night.

This is partially possible because the car might have 200 miles of range but is only driven 40 miles each day typically.

Unfortunately, people with solar panels on their roof will just dispense with PGE at home.

I see the makings of a great business plan:

Like those folks with grid tied solar systems know. You pay one rate for electricity from the grid and the power company pays you a different, lesser rate for the power you sell to them.

The power company could just alternately charge and then discharge your car continuously, thereby generating a net positive cash flow with no effort on their part.

Note to self: Unplug my car from the grid when I go to bed at night. The one element crazy leftist plans always forgets is personal choice. No one is going to let their charge be involuntarily depleted after paying to charge up the car.

Personally, I will stay in Texas and keep going to the gas station once a week.

Only electric cars? What about bikes?

EV’s as backup generators because real generators have been outlawed. So the EV’s can power the grid until they die or explode, then they get recharged by electricity from the grid, which gets its power from fossil fuels. Welcome to California, which leads the nation...somewhere.

The stupid. It burns.

[Gnome1949]

Is this like a Tesla pulling a diesel generator on a trailer to recharge itself?

Finally, a perpetual motion machine.

Where do these idiots come from?

Whatever you do, don't let them EVER tap your Rivian truck for its stored juice. Never, never, never! Let them make their own juice.

What Happens When a Rivian EV Runs Out of Battery Charge?

Pathetic.

[minnesota_bound]

One nuclear power plant would do a better job.

[Honorary Serb]

Is this a joke?

[VideoDoctor]

Another LIBERAL solution to a problem which ONLY EXISTS because LIBERALS initially created the original problem!

Can you say "Merry-Go-Round" ride?

At first I thought this article was from the Onion or the Babylon Bee. Please tell me that this is another satire site because nobody can be that stupid!

..."bidirectional charging."

Next in line - bidirectional marriage.

[Karliner]

Great idea. Works with multiplying negative numbers in algebra. These folks are genius!

[NetAddicted]

This makes no sense. Charge your EV battery, so you can provide CA electric power? Do you get a refund for the cost of charging the battery? Is the power grid going to be able to charge all the EV batteries? Do you get to work from home, if you’re EV is hooked up to state power grid?
