Partially correct. There are HVDC ties at both the western and eastern interconnects. During their power crisis both areas were also running close to their regulated limits and had nothing to push past the ties. NERC and FERC make the rules.  In a power emergency, entities with extra capacity are to make it available…

 So their answer is to deny any permitting for any kind of power generation of any type, forcing them to depend on outside sources and capping their capacity, and then going full on electric no matter what.  Got it.  I am a full on supporter of EVs and own two of them.  What CA is doing is going to implode on them,…

Give me an E Goldwing. 

As I stated, there’s more to it than my post eludes. I just see a potential where H2 can be created in a distributed fashion, without adding undue load on the grid.

Electrolysis is a means, just not being used en masse. Had you actually read my post, you would have read where I’ve stated that I get that there’s more to what I’m proposing than I’ve written.

They don’t have to.  The rules are written that one entity cannot risk the reliability of their area to supply another.  This is what confounded ERCOT during their near grid collapse.  There was no available power to be purchased across the HVDC ties from either of the two neighboring interconnects.

This is California.  They’ve had a mountain sized burr up their asses for trucks for decades.  I’m a massive EV proponent and see this as little more than an avenue for them to finally bank trucks from their state.  Their freudian slip is how trucks clog up the highways.  They don’t give a damn about the potential…

A propely tuned diesel should not be “rolling coal.” Those trucks should be inspected for alterations to the fuel systems and fined accordingly.  Also, they need to have the damned unmuffled pipes fined and forced to put mufflers back on them.

 This is where a hydrogen fuel cell system would be superior.  You have a very large parking area available to set up their own solar array dedicated to splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.  Another benefit of the solar canopy is to reduce the demand on power the trucks would require to keep the cabs comfortable…

Right wingers don’t think beyond this week and rarely beyond the next quarter’s stock prices

There won’t be a 2 door model because of the extra space needed for the battery.

Well, if Steve DaSilva wants to do an article about furries who have been working on restoring old motorcycles, I volunteer myself. My Partner’s and my machines are nearly finished, but an article detailing what we’ve been through getting a 34 and 37 year old pair of Goldwings back to being roadworthy... I dunno. I’d…

LOL I like how you’re thinking.

As one that actually owned a Chevy Aveo to drive into the ground on my 100 mile commute back in the day, I can personally say that yes it is.  LOL

After getting hung up on, my next call would have been to an attorney to file a lawsuit for fraudulent charges on my card. 

LOL for the hot minute TATA motors was considering bringing the Nano to the U.S., I was in the same camp. I had a 100 mile round trip commute back then, and I would have had no problem throwing one of these away every year. I’m totally spoiled now with my Bolt, and having free L2 charging at work.  99% of my charging…

Elon wanted his plug to be the standard. That’s why he built out the network the way he did. The Asian market wanted CHAdeMO, which is what is their defacto standard is in their home markets, and brought cars over here with those plugs. The rest of the market looked at both and decided they wanted CCS. Yay, we get…

GM has a deal with EVGo to do just that.  They had announced this long before the infrastructure bill was even being thought up.

Disagree. If the auto industry could have it their way, they would strip cars down to basic tin cans powered by lawnmower engines, and force the public to buy these at steep markups. The problem with infrastructure has always been one of the industry not wanting to spend the money on it with no guarantee of a return…

LOL Trying to compare a Ford EcoSport to an Audi?  Come on, that’s not even in the same universe in the target demographic.  I’m not saying the EcoSport is good.  I haven’t driven one, but I would never compare or contrast the two against each other.
