Again I'm speaking out of relative ignorance, not having exhaustively researched the California energy situation. However one would think that the utilities aren't apt to buy more RE than they're required to, especially if it costs more than brown energy. So one solution to RE oversupply would be for the California legislature to generate demand by raising the required percentage of RE in the grid, no? And, again, using that excess RE to charge EVs should be a winner all round. However, I'm throwing darts in the dark here, so it'd be great to hear from someone more familiar with the situation.
