California orders no EV charging over Labor Day weekend

[marvin martian]

This is DemoKKKrat leadership at it's finest. They banned gas engines, but lack the forethought and competence to provide adequate electricity to charge EVs.

I guess everyone can just stay home but make sure that thermostat isn't set lower than 78!

Enjoy!

Don't Charge that Electric Vehicle: California Braces for Energy Shortage Thru Labor Day

California will have "Flex Alerts" through Labor Day, and residents will be asked not to charge electric vehicles at certain times.

www.breitbart.com

Hoping to avoid blackouts, the California Independent System Operator, which manages the state’s power grid, warned Tuesday that it probably will issue a series of Flex Alerts over the next several days. Flex Alerts are voluntary calls for conservation during the afternoon and evening hours, when energy use tends to soar. Residents will be asked to turn up their thermostats to 78 degrees or higher, avoid using dishwashers or other large appliances, and hold off on charging their electric vehicles, all during the 4-9 p.m. time frame.

Already, the grid manager has issues a “restricted maintenance operations” notice starting Wednesday — a directive telling power generators and transmission line operators to delay routine maintenance that would take generating or transmission equipment offline.

I think its a great idea.

gives EV owners an idea of their future during black outs and power failures

It's ridiculous here!

Triple digits for the next 10 days and we get ".....turn your AC up to 80 or turn on a fan..."

I don't see where anyone is being "ordered" to do anything...

Those stupid Democrats have really screwed up that state.

Just think what load it will put on the electric grid system after the Democrat's mandate of no more ICE vehicles goes into effect.

No wonder 1500 people a day are moving out of that Commie state to Free America.

And don't charge your EV! You'll stay in your overheated house, and you'll like it!

Well, I guess you could overload the grid and cause a blackout.

Interesting sideline to the E.V. mandate. It's doubtful but in the event that Ca. manages to outlaw gas vehicles, the state will control access to charging stations. In other words the government will be able to regulate citizens ability to travel. It's Orwell country.

That's neither here nor there, nor is it what I was addressing.

You said Californians were being "ordered" not to charge their electric vehicles.

That's simply not true...

If a Democrat is elected as President again, and they managed to hold seats in the house - America will be like Europe is right now, easily within 5 years.
Europe is experiencing between 130% - 300% utility price increases.
Mandated Thermostat settings or pay fine.
Rationed WATT usage

All coming

It will be. Voluntary today is mandated tomorrow... just like Europe.

Before Arnold, it was Gray Davis, who cut a bunch of dirty deals with Enron and instigated the first wave of blackouts and failures in the state electrical grid. That **** was in office the first year I lived in Sacramento, and we got to experience 108 degree heat with no a/c.

Again, completely irrelevant.

No one in California has been ordered not to charge their EV's, despite the assertion of the OP to the contrary...

It's amazing people still don't understand that.

It's amazing that people feel the need to post lies to make a point...

I lived in California when Davis took office.

We always had A/C...

suckers!

A mandate is an official order.......NOT a law.
And most of the time it is only verbal, not put in writing.

Therefore, people DON'T have to follow it if they feel it is detrimental to their well being or life.

Thanks to ballot harvesting and a weak CA GOP the state is a one party state.....
