Default 90 amps for electric car charge!

I've lived where the power utility was owned by the city- it's not uncommon.


I hit send too fast.

That's similar to living on a military base where they run the
utilities, except they didn't meter the electric. They also supplied
the water, natural gas (Where available), diesel fuel for the generators
at remote bases and steam to heat buildings in cold climates. They
operated the CATV and telephone systems, and in a few places they had
the only local radio or TV station and printed the newspaper.

Ft. Greely, AK. was like that, except for natural gas which wasn't
available.


I live within 15 miles of two city operated electric utilities. The
rates are about double what people outside the city limits pay, and all
the electricity comes from the same power plants. Then they complain
when businesses move out of the city, or the county because of high
taxes & utilities.
