% Here is where those anti-EV snarky types will attack you for having a plugin. IMO: -if you drive a pih do not plug in so you can state you are using its on-board ice same as their gas car, and like the way local utilities have placed diesel generators out to keep local businesses up
-EVs should be fully charged by 2pm, and do not plug in again until after 9pm -be in conservative mode: drive slower saves range to need less of a recharge, and plan for a longer charge at a lower powered EVSE setting (charge at 3kW instead of 6kW - except if you charge on ToU which is in the middle of the night. Charging in the a.m. is better than in the p.m.) -Note: all your non-plugin driving co-workers and neighbors are being instructed to unplug their life style (see below), so they will be irritable at anything and everyone (like a person going through internet or TV withdrawals, etc.) -Remember it is not EVs fault electricity is in high demand. It is the CA utilities' short shortsightedness, profit-1st thinking that has the grid in bad shape when demand is high. *** Got Solar? *** % http://www.flexalert.org/save-energy ...
