Speaking of order of operations, first fix your grid, then electrify the homes.

Look at California which has banned new gasoline cars in 2035, banned new natural gas hookups, and also told people to reduce electrical usage and not charge their cars!

I feel like this is a false connection.

The 2035 ban doesn't change the present either way and Cali has a ton of time to beef up its power grid in the meantime.

California won't. Just like they won't ever complete that $100bn high speed rail.

I thought it was "charge your cars at night"

California’s great held during a literally historic heat wave. That’s a vote of confidence for me that they can handle this transition. Sure they tried to reduce load, but that’s a sensible thing to do in a historically high demand for electricity!
