Smile The irony here is off the chart

First Karlifornia decided to ban selling ICE cars by 2035 (and pro-EV folks wonder why we think this agenda is being shoved down our throat). But wait, there's more!

Today, the state power energy operator has encouraged owners of EV's to not charge up their cars when it is needed most because the system can't handle the demand due to a heat wave! (like there are never heat waves in KA?)

So, lets look at this:
-They want everyone to use only EV's.
-They are enacting laws that will eventually push citizens to not have an ICE. -The CA infrastructure is already not able to handle the current demand other than in optimal conditions.
-There are no current plans or funding (can you say "massive tax increases"?) to upgrade the power grid to meet the normal increase of power demand coming on top of the huge demand for more power when more people go to EV.

You can't make this stuff up. How do these lawmakers do these things with a straight face? Why do residents stay there (on top of all the other problems)?

Before you whine about someone bashing your beloved state, please take a hard look at these things and give us some realistic reasons why CA isn't full out cray cray.

Please don't give us fairy tales about how technology will change. What if it doesn't and who will pay for it?
"Hey Jim, why are you speeding up? Can't you see the bridge up ahead has collapsed?
"Oh don't worry Fred, they'll come up with technology so that this car can fly before we get there".
