Related to the climate change apocalypse, PG&E has Public Safety Power Shutoffs that impact especially people that live in high fire risk areas. People that have experienced shutoffs more than twice can get batteries reimbursed. [1]

ago, and perhaps two, when the need for load balancing to make wind or solar power at all compatible with current demand schedules, it was proposed that all these EVs we would be building anyway, should just be designed as part of the load-balancing capacity.
I am surprised I see so little commentary about a system-level design for load balancing, using anything that has batteries in it to minimize duplicating and then under-utilizing storage capacity.</span><br>
