A ‘Crackpot’ Scheme From Down Under Involves Stealing Power From EVs To Stabilize Grid

A ‘Crackpot’ Scheme From Down Under Involves Stealing Power From EVs To Stabilize Grid
by Olivia Murray  18 hours ago i

From Andrew Bolt at The Herald Sun comes the news that the self-imagined elites who fancy themselves “green” have a new harebrained idea, and that is to steal power back from charging electric vehicles to stabilize a compromised grid. [emphasis, links added]


Here’s the story:

The plan – pushed this week by an Australian National University academic and naive reporters at the ABC and The Age – is to steal the power in people’s EV batteries to save an electricity system being wrecked by other warmist schemes.

…

An ANU paper published this week said researchers had got 16 EVs to pump power back into the system when a big storm cut power in Victoria this year to 90,000 homes.

Now, it’s not like anyone with a brain really expected these progressive “intellectuals” to offer sound policy proposals, but their “plan” is beyond asinine, and Bolt explains why, running through the real-world application of such a scheme:

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

Yes let's charge the batteries, then steal the power back. That will be so efficient.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

I can see this being done to support "critical systems" like air conditioning in government offices...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Will the owners of the EV-batteries be credited for the energy taken?  Otherwise, the EV owner is continually charging an EV that will never become fully charged, or will never remain fully charged.  The EV owner is also paying for kilowatt hours of electricity that will be used by someone else.  Like most socialist concepts, it boils down to theft.
