California: We're Facing an Energy Shortage Due to Our Ban on Building Any New Power Plants. But We've Got a Great Idea: We'll Just Suck the Energy Out of the Batteries of Electric Vehicles During Power Shortages!
They're going to reverse the flow of electricity for car-charging stations to suck energy out of cars to make up for their deliberate crippling of the state's energy production.
Apart from the obvious problem of leeching electricity out of people's cars and leaving them in a low-power state for their morning drive to work, do you see another practical problem?
That's right-- people charge their cars overnight. Power demand is the greatest during the day. Power demand drops to very low levels at night. Fewer lights, the AC either off or only being used intermittently, etc.
So they'll be sucking power out of electric vehicles when power is not needed.
The few who actually are charging during the day are probably doing so at work.
So good luck getting home, assholes!
