A new California law mandating a shift to electric vehicles by 2035 is raising concerns about the state's power grid capacity. Experts warn that the increased demand from millions of charging vehicles, coupled with existing strain on the grid during hot seasons, could lead to widespread blackouts if infrastructure isn't significantly expanded.
The California power grid is going to face massive new demand in coming years because of a state law mandating a shift to electric vehicles. ): I wonder if the governor, Senate and Assembly members of California really thought out the impact on proposing the new bill banning gas-powered vehicles in 2035. It’s 11 years from now, but they should start building up the power grid right away.
The utility companies say that there is not enough power being generated now to support households during a hot season, and that heavy appliances should not be used during the peak hours of the day. What’s going to happen when every resident plugs in their vehicles at the end of day, and also turns on air conditioning and appliances? If they don’t start building more power plants, there will be a lot of blackouts throughout the state. They need to rethink their plans.
