Maybe the real question is, when the heat wave hits, should CG pedestals be repurposed for charging EV’s??… Like it or not this will surely be the position of some affected others…Just saying…

Actually the heat wave is upon us right now today. Plenty of reserves in CA. Feel free to plug in.
Although still best to conserve from 4 to 9 pm. However there will be NO enforcement.

Plenty of reserves? If you have plenty of reserves why bother asking for conservation? Because its the fun thing to do?



"California residents have been asked to conserve electricity for another day as a heat wave sweeps the West.

The state's energy grid operator issued another statewide Flex Alert, calling for conservation from 4 to 9 p.m. PT due to "increasing high heat, tightening energy supplies and more potential strain on the grid."

Californians are strongly urged to lower electricity use, setting thermostats to 78 degrees or higher, health permitting.

In addition, the California Independent System Operator (ISO) instructed residents to avoid using major appliances and turn off unnecessary lights."
