Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted July 15, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 15, 2022 https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-asks-texans-not-charge-085820140.html Tesla has told users in Texas not to charge their cars during a heat wave. The alert comes as the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which operates the state’s grid, is calling on residents to conserve energy – in order to stop the grid being pushed to near-emergency conditions. “A heat wave is expected to impact the grid in Texas over the next few days. The grid operator recommends to avoid charging during peak hours between 3pm and 8pm, if possible, to help statewide efforts to manage demand”, an in-car alert sent to Tesla owners reads, as reported by Electrek. ERCOT recommends that people in Texas avoid running appliances between 2pm and 8pm. There is a risk of it losing its power reserves "with no market solution available", Reuters reports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ercot, Abbott and the R's in Texas have created Cali-Lite in regards to their power issues. frankly they should be requesting women not to use all their vibrators. https://globalnews.ca/news/8876633/texas-gun-laws-restrictions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting regulations in place that limit the power grid is the problem in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
