Electric Vehicle Grid Impact Analysis and Smart-Charge Management Integrated EV smart charging can improve grid reliability by more effectively utilizing renewable energy, shaving peak electricity demand, and supporting and maintaining power quality while still meeting the needs of EV drivers. Equitable Electric Vehicle Adoption Using tools, such as the EV Infrastructure for Equity Model, helps develop smart-charge management algorithms that support more equitable and just EV adoption and infrastructure deployment. https://www.nrel.gov/transportation/...-charging.html Cold snap, high electric needs EV charging shut off. I can't break it down any simpler but you folks have spent $50,000.00 plus to let the same folks that forced you to take a unproven medication to keep your job to control who, where, when and if you can drive your car. If you do your homework you will find that your home charger is likely to be included in the "Managed Electric Vehicle Charging" |

^ It's amazing how some can be convinced after a few minutes to go for EV's without even taking into account all the factors, I can only think of it as a slowly unfolding catastrophe whatever the weather.

Intersting. From this video it looks like the Cybertruck loses 1/2 its range towing. The other interesting take away is charging with a trailer. Most charging stations aren't equipped for drive alongside like a gas pump so you'll likely have to disconnect form your trailer to charge.

I mean... some people's towing needs are pretty minor. Not everyone's, but some.
Friends of mine have an F250 that they use to tow their boat from their house to the dock twice a year (they only use it locally), and occasionally pick up some mulch with a trailer from the landscape place a few miles away. A cybertruck would work just fine for that purpose, who cares if it cuts the range in half? Anyone buying a cybertruck (at all, let alone) for long distance hauling has some screws loose... |

"BMW Charge Forward program". Every EV company has one of these charge control programs and EV folks seem incapable to understand that the utilities have the ability to throttle or stop EV Chargers dependent on the available power in the grid. The "problem is more attributed to the charge infrastructure" is correct. Tesla is getting a bad rap on this, blame ComEd not Tesla or maybe blame yourself for not understanding "Managed electric vehicle (EV) charging"
On a side note how many EV owners were up in arms during the arguments over "Net Neutrality" allowing internet providers to throttle their internet access. |

People start waking up. I guess some must have learned the very expensive lessons.

One, they're opt-in programs. Two, they have overrides for the times you absolutely need to charge right now. Third, with an EV, you almost never drive the thing down to nothing. I have never seen single digit %'s on my car. I charge any time the battery gets below 30%. It just requires a little planning and forethought but hey, I never have to stop at a gas station. And if some surprise comes up, I just take one of my other two ICE vehicles... It's really nice living in the middle and not forcing myself to either end of the extremes... |

You don't have a clue on what "Managed electric vehicle (EV) charging" is do you?
Here is an official government source so that should work for you. https://www.energy.gov/femp/managed-...hicle-charging https://www.nrel.gov/transportation/...-charging.html Management of increased demand for electricity without the need for additional investment in traditional power grid infrastructure is known as "non-wire" solutions. Charging Load Estimation Estimation of regional charging loads distributes charging more evenly across the grid, thereby reducing peak generation needs, and ensuring safe and reliable charging for all. Control Adjustment Adjustment of controls maintains grid reliability during extreme weather events. Equitable Electric Vehicle Adoption Using tools, such as the EV Infrastructure for Equity Model, helps develop smart-charge management algorithms that support more equitable and just EV adoption and infrastructure deployment. I especially like the "equitable and just EV adoption" |

no need to be obtuse. Or maybe you're just thick? boring day to day driving requires no gas stations. I drive a total of about 12k miles a year with 9k of those miles on the EV... 3/4 of my driving requires zero time at a gas station.
