More One-Party Leadership Failure – Power Grid Neglect.
Like the electric company in Colorado that locked users “smart” AC thermostats at a high temperature soon California residents will have more Newsom “Freedom” mandates & restrictions on electricity usage and when they can charge & drive their EVs.
(YahooNews Sep 01) “22,000 Colorado Residents Prevented from Turning Up Air Conditioning during ‘Energy Emergency’”
“Thousands of Colorado residents found themselves locked out of their smart thermostats during sweltering temperatures last week in an effort to prevent power demand from overwhelming the grid.”
A week of “Flex-Alerts” in CA with a 4% EV / 96% ICE auto mix –
and idiotic decisions to stop ICE sales in little over a decade?
“There are roughly 14 million cars in CA and about 560,000 EVs on the road all ready.”
The 4% EVs on the road in California are the most of any state in the U.S. – almost 41% of all the country’s EV fleet. Teslas are the most popular EVs in the state.
Florida and Texas are the next states with the most electric vehicles.
Keep electing morons with no infrastructure planning or preparation before implementing mandates and restrictions on the “Freedoms” of all Californians.
Good thing Gavin MANDATED EV’s.
Career Corrupt Idiots run this state.
