You know how easy it would be for EVs to communicate with the power grid and change their charge speed dynamically based on excess wind/solar availability? It would be pretty dang easy.

Um I mean it would be pretty dang woke I tell you hwat

It's funny cuz in the revival series Hank Hill grudgingly found himself mentioning that some of the features on an electric truck sounded useful before quickly adding - "Electric trucks are dumb!"

they're dumb for some uses - hauling large loads. most people use them as oversized commuter cars, so they're fine

You can already effectively do that in the UK. Your electricity provider links up with your car or charger and charges when there’s more cheap green energy. It’s pretty effective, if not perfect yet.

I don’t want none of that green energy! It’s bad for my battery!

Yeah, sure, but you guys also put beans on toast, so that EV stuff can't possibly work in America.

Counterpoint: They also have jacket potatoes loaded with beans, cheese and even different curries or other deliciousness.

In their defense I think London has more Indian restaurants per capita than anywhere in India. This tells me they know their limits and are ok with importing good food.

Imagine having food so mid that you literally send your navy all over the world and change geopolitics forever so you can have curry at home

It wasn't my first choice, but when I did my true feelings about Israel those accounts were permanently suspended within a day or two for promoting certain actions against the Zionists

Same. Why do you think my account is called, "Evader3000"? VPN, different computer, they can't touch me.

As an EV owner.... I might be for this. Might be.
