Add to that the closing of the plants they have and you get to where they are now. Silicon valley is moving to Austin piece by piece so it is just a matter of time before the house of cards falls. Loved going to Cali every year but now I won't go as it would break my heart to see what they have done to the place . I've enjoyed visiting California and there's some fantastic outdoors there, but IDK if I'd want to live there. The area around Big Sur... epically gorgeous but I'm not a billionaire so I don't foresee that being my retirement haven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rate structure there makes it fairly expensive to charge. Most avoid charging around those times and wait to start a charge after demand rates subside after 9 on residential or 10 pm on fast chargers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a 50 amp circuit charging at of peak in your area you have almost 160 kwhs that can be delivered off peak. Enough to fill up 2 long range style EV’s off peak on that 1 50 amp circuit.

irv Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) A friends friend went to Cali a few yrs ago (San Fran) and was pissed no one, especially the travel agent, warned her about the place. Not entirely on those people as she clearly should have done her own research too but she said it was complete waste of money and that she will never be going back again. It speaks volumes about the place if they keep re-electing the likes of Newsom and other Democrats. I know the whole state is not that idiotic, but unfortunately they're in the minority.

You are being controlled through incentivisation -- the practice of building incentives into an arrangement or system in order to motivate the actors within it. You went EV and Solar not because you thought it was a good idea for the environment, but because you got $$$ to do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not only dependent for electricity you are dependent for gas/diesel for your transportation. You can not exist without somebody selling you electricity or fuels. Ultra dependent. im working towards not being dependent on anybody for energy while some are fine being dependent bitches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you familiar with the coast line from San Fran up to Arcata? Never been in that area and have considered doing an Airbnb in the Sea Ranch or Mendocino area with the wife. She has family in the Fresno area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You claim you are, but you're not. You just have a few shiny panels on your roof. You still depend on water and NG. As for paying for batteries once, you going to walk when your EVs batteries shit the bed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
