If you live in California you might want to trade in your electric car for a gas guzzler.
The state’s power grid is in grave danger of failing.
The California Independent System Operator says a heat wave could result in power cutbacks.
That’s means turning thermostats up to 78 degrees and washing dishes by hand. It also means that motorists will only be able to charge their electric vehicles with a five-hour time span.
But if there’s a black out — no one will be able to recharge their cars.
Now this is a big deal because Governor Gavin Newsom just announced that he plans to ban all gasoline powered vehicles by 2035.
Just days after passing a law banning new sales of gasoline powered cars by 2035, California is urging residents to avoid charging their electric vehicles during peak hours in the coming week to help ward off blackouts during an expected heatwave.
