So the West, which I'm in, is in a severe drought. Not sure about California but there's only been like 3 days the past month in the SLC area where the temp didn't reach at least 95°, several days over 100°--
I read where California's PG&E is going to start cutting power, partly as wildfire prevention but I'm supposing AC usage isn't helping (I had 2 power outages during one 104° day last week)--and so Tesla has warned their customers to get those cars charged up before PG&D starts cutting power. And I suppose all electric-car owners are planning doing the same-?
So, questions: is mass-car charging going to help overload their power grid? (catch-22 #1),
-and-
If people's electricity is out and they can't charge their cars, then what? -- use gasoline burning generators to charge them? (catch-22 #2)
Just pondering - I have no idea what's going to happen, but I WILL say this drought is scaring the hell outta ME...
