And what if every new home built had the equivalent of a power wall for storage with the roof covered in solar panels?
Of course the ev could be used as a power storage, too.

It's the future as envisioned by clear thinkers.
Once all your storage it toped up, excess electricity is passed on to the grid to a hydrogen producing plant that can later be used to power elec power plants. Round and round she goes.

LOL. Summer, I store the jacket I wear most of winter in pickup. If need to get out in rain for short time, it more comfortable than the rain gear stored with it. Winter, I keep plenty of coats, and insulated coveralls in car. But if going to be driving more than across town I will start off cold, or stop after about 15 minutes of driving, take off jacket. Unless the temps get below 0F, there is enough waste heat off my engine to keep pickup cab as warm as my living room.
I have wondered how much the MPG on a IC is effected by the weight and power demands of all the FREDs the modern motorist thinks they need.

As a person that has worked it both Gas and Electric construction and maintenance for a utility, I can tell you there is currently not enough generation in California to support this....we all knew that. If there was enough generation in Cali, there isn't the infrasturcture to support it. In Cali, the Pot Farms have stressed the system already. EV's are just that much more. Due to the fires, much of the infrastructure is being replaced, upgraded and hardened. Not sure I can say much of it, but some of it is being undergrounded and it is likely including charging stations for EV's. EV's are likely going to be the future, and I think in time(beyond my time)the system will catch up to the charging needs generated by EV's and it is likely that by then the EV's will be more logical from all aspects. But for me, I didn't work 40 years to figure out a new way to travel. I plan on being Diesel to the dying day.

Well, where do we go to find the non-politicized, non-subsidy seeking, non-virtue signaling, rational individuals (independent of Gov’t Grant moola $$, and trendy popular narratives…) capable of saving us from this self-imposed day of reckoning??…Why are sentient minority voices of concern (the Socratic method = critical thinking…) being utterly dismissed??…The sage wisdom of Sir Winston Churchill comes to mind, “With each generation, a new world begins” - Just thinking about the future…
