Biden’s EV Dreams A Nightmare For Working Families

Expensive electricity rates are making home battery charging a headache and outside of the home, inconsistent and sometimes high pricing policies, frequently broken equipment, and a lack of battery chargers in key locations for all but Tesla drivers is frustrating electric vehicle owners. Inflation and intermittent renewable energy (wind and solar power) are escalating electricity rates, making EV home charging a frustrating experience for some drivers, particularly those in blue states with increasingly higher electricity rates. A J.D. Power study of EV owners who use Level 2 home-charging stations found that overall satisfaction in the home charging experiences declined 12 points since last year due mainly to the increase in electricity prices that are starting to hit home.

Home Charging

In New England, where electricity prices surge at peak hours, home charging satisfaction saw the largest year-over-year decline. There are several programs designed to ease the cost of EV home charging, including options to schedule charging at the most affordable times of day. Only about half of EV owners in the J.D. Power study indicated that they had an understanding of their utility company programs for home charging. But, these programs may not help all EV owners as the lowest rates in California are when electricity is generated by solar power during daylight hours when the sun is shining, but when Californians are mostly at work.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Question for those with technological knowledge: could something like this also be managed (by bad people) at EV charging stations, i.e., infecting an electric car with some sort of bug?
