Somebody must be benefiting from this.

Last I checked, power from the grid is not cheap either. What you will wind up doing here, is giving them more of an excuse to inflate your already obscene air conditioning bill in the summer up to new astronomical heights. I mean this is what will happen when everyone transitions to EV's.

You know what the USA is currently doing with groceries now? That being running an experiment to see just how much you are willing to pay for food at the grocery store? Well, they'll do the same thing to your power bill as more people transition to EV's.. How much do you really want to (can you afford to) keep the lights on and the temperature in your dwelling below a hundred degrees in the summer time, anyway?

Highest temperature in this part of California so far this year is 79 - I just checked my hi/lo thermometer out back.
