With electricity availability on the rapid decline due to the conversion of vehicles from gas to electric, many electricity grids are now at risk of collapsing. To mitigate this, some now have the power to switch off people's home electric vehicle (EV) chargers whenever the system gets too overloaded.

In Australia, the Queensland Electricity Connection Manual (QECM), which provides a framework for the region's grid operation, states in Section 8 a proposal to have EV charging equipment limited or shut off entirely by operators Ergon Energy and Energex, these being distributed network service providers or DNSPs, for connected with an output of more than 20 amps.

To put this into perspective, a standard domestic single-phase EV charger utilizes 32 amps of energy, meaning chargers with even less amps could be reduced or cut off in an instant should energy providers determine that such an action is needed to protect the grid.

Good, I hope it happens too, because most people are sheep and only learn when the sheepdog has them by the throat.

Can't have the cattle wandering off the factory.

The hybrid isn't looking too bad. Next we should hybridize it further and put a small module nuclear reactor on it so it can trickle charge the battery even off grid. Even if it was very weak. If you could park it at night with nothing and wake up in the morning with 20% at least it would be something.

You'd have to be an absolute retard to buy an electric car.

If NetZero 2030 keeps going ahead, we won't have lights on in our houses, let alone power to recharge an electric car.

Is coal really cheap? What's stopping us from all having our own little coal generators?

I can’t wait until all these Teslas end up in the junkyard and we get back to normal.
