No the grid is not up to it. Will it ever be if not pushed into it?
CA can't even keep the lights on at night

So it makes no sense at all to be charging lots of EVs at night.

Wow. Just wow.

The company I worked for installed the Trabon lubrication systems in the
station so I got to tag along with the crew supervisor. It's impressive
if you don't think too hard about being 700' under a lake.

But, germane to the thread, the scheme depended on excess generating
capacity at night. 100,000 Teslas plugged in overnight in the
Connecticut valley is going to alter that situation.
