One of the main reasons folks that promote EVC's was home charging, and the savings. Now Stanford University has looked into it. And they are saying its the worst way to approach charging.
Stanford study
So, cant during peak usage, cant overnight, guess Kali is going to tell folks to charge them in Nevada.

Keep guessing! Refueling ICEs in the very early days was done by buying gasoline in one gallon containers from a hardware store. Lead, follow or get out of the way. California chooses to lead.

As a former Californian, I can say this. Watch what California does, then do something else, anything else. We can learn from its mistakes.

Can’t wait for the res of the EV nut humpers to chime in.
A respected institution in their idyllic state of Cali publishing something like this.
They will have to update their dreams and means of being in denial of reality.
Thanks for posting!

California is certainly leading in it's residents making a mass exodus to other states, and it's not good........ for the other states.

They lead with the with the cart before the horse. Mandate electric cars by 2035, but don’t have the electrical grid capacity to support it. Can they build it up that soon, only time will tell.

“Mandate electric cars by 2035….” Why couldn’t the Legislature extend this date if necessary?

Electric supply will have to keep up with demand. Several informal EV road trips have indiacted that highway charging rates are up to 3 times at home rates and work charging rates could be similar. Given that and no other changes most of us would want to charge at home.

And there are a lot of other pro and con issues with the switch to EVs that are not yet being considered.

First you would have to vote in a legislature where the majority has some common sense.
