California’s state government is asking residents to refrain from charging their electric vehicles to avoid power outages during a persistent heatwave.
As noted by The Epoch Times, the California Independent System Operator released several requests in June for residents to conserve power in the interest of avoiding blackouts. Among other measures, Californians are encouraged to “pre-cool your home by lowering the thermostat,” “use major appliances, like your dishwasher, and clothes washer and dryer,” “close window coverings to keep your home or apartment cool,” “charge electronic devices,” and “charge electric vehicles” before “Flex Alerts” enter into effect.
