I'd be in favor of banning them in this case
So Cal Edison is rolling out a new plan where they don't want you to use any power between 4PM and 9PM including coming home and charging your car
The amount of sheer retardation gets to be a bit much at times
Rather than provide power which is their job they are out to change the world for the worse
If everyone bought electric cars the Cali grid would be fucked beyond recognition.
But leftards don't do scale. Iron law -
Forgive me for being way behind the times and not knowing this shit, but do people really have to charge their electric cars at a designated charging station somewhere, instead of at their home? If so, what a massive, deal-breaking inconvenience.

Charging station deserts.

Homeowner can charge at home. Using a standard 110 volt plug it takes between 20-40 hours to charge a depleted battery (depending on the battery size). It takes about a third as long if you can get a 220 volt outlet in your garage. Still pretty inconvenient.Fenderbender123 said:Forgive me for being way behind the times and not knowing this shit, but do people really have to charge their electric cars at a designated charging station somewhere, instead of at their home?

Oh look at the fucking elitist bigot who thinks everyone has a home. What about the homeless bigot? Where are they supposed to charge their electric vehicles?Fenderbender123 said:Forgive me for being way behind the times and not knowing this shit, but do people really have to charge their electric cars at a designated charging station somewhere, instead of at their home?

We’re gonna end up like Cuba driving 2008 Hondas and figuring out how to convert to deep fry oil combustion.

To charge on 220V you need a 70 amp circuit. Most homes won't have room in the electrical panel for that. Also the infrastructure can't handle the additional; load of everyone charging an electric car. There isn't enough electrical generation capascity and the electrical grid from the power plant down to a the house would all have to be rebuilt. All of it! Hell Texas has power and they couldn't heat homes. Nuke up or die.

Can you imagine a five hundred unit apartment complex trying to charge up to 750 electric cars after work (assuming 1.5 cars per apartment). The complex would need its own freaking substation. Of course they don't cost nothing.Sledog said:To charge on 220V you need a 70 amp circuit. Most homes won't have room in the electrical panel for that.

Thought I would dumb it down for them -
Do they have whites only charging stations? Why wouldn’t they be able to access charging stations?
