Moral of the story if they only make electric vehicles, switch to biofuel or anything else that one can mod.
The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist.
The state tries to convince everyone they cannot resist.

Re: "NEW NORMAL": California Extends Electricity ‘Flex Alert,’ Warns Drivers Not to Charge Electric Cars
Don’t know if it was mentioned since I have not read every post, however….

There was a guy over 20 years ago in CA who installed small trailers with generators onboard to charge electric cars on the road.

He also modified the electric vehicles to be continuously charged while driving.

Got over 100 MPG that way and better with diesel generators.

I’m sure such a thing would be illegal now in the Peoples Republic of Kahlifornia.

Brought to you by the same shit-for-brains who just announced they'll outlaw all Internal combustion engine cars (ICE) in coming years. Forget the fact that th electrical infrastructure cannot possibly support this complete and total pipedream. ...as usual.

This makes me think of the "leftys" of California state government a few years ago decriminalizing people who knowingly give HIV to other people, In most cases, that would be GLBT males involved with other GLBT males.

You know what? Liberals make the best sociopaths. Nothing wrong with that.

A society needs its sociopaths to keep things mean, greedy and miserable.

Thanks, Liberals!

We haven't lost power, but it was 106 here yesterday. Pretty sure they will be forced to back off this EV bullshit, the infrastructure obviously isn't in place. It's all political for now. We'll see.

I bet every EV charge station is open for business.

The electric company can see the draw of a charging car based on the huge amount being used, how long before folks start getting ticketed or worse for charging when told not too?

Can the electric company view a draw in real time? That would be some shit wouldn’t it?

California Extends ‘Flex Alert,’ Warns Drivers Not to Charge Electric Cars

Jack Phillips Sep 4, 2022


Authorities in California extended a “Flex Alert” telling residents to conserve energy, including not charging their electric vehicles, on Sunday afternoon and evening.

The alert has been in effect for several days in the midst of a heat wave that is slated to last through Labor Day.

The California Independent System Operator, the manager of the state’s power grid, issued the statewide Flex Alert from 4 to 9 p.m. Residents are urged to set their thermostats to 78 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, avoid using major appliances, avoid charging electric vehicles, and turning off unnecessary lights.

“Additional Flex Alerts will likely be called as heat will only intensify through Tuesday, with little relief from triple-digit temperatures seen over the next several days,” the operator wrote. “Daytime high temperatures are forecast at 10-20 degrees above normal in much of the state through the Labor Day weekend and into next week, and record-breaking heat is projected in some parts of California.”

Elliot Mainzer, Cal ISO president, told local media this weekend that Sept. 1 saw the “highest demand for power” since September 2017 in California, adding that it’s “a dress rehearsal for what’s going to be much more significantly stressed conditions here as we get into the heart of the weekend.”

The National Weather Service says 100-degree temperatures are currently hitting Los Angeles, the state’s most populated city, on Sunday. Sacramento and other areas in the Central Valley, meanwhile, are forecast to hit 113 degrees F on Monday and Tuesday. San Jose, another heavily populated city, will see temperatures over 100 F on Monday and Tuesday.

The goal with EV isn't to limit your usage of your EV. It is to take your car away from you and have the peons use mass transit. They think we have too much freedom of movement.
