For the sake of fair context, CA was "suggesting" reducing overall electricity consumption from 4-9PM for a 10-day period during the heatwave. Definitely exposes some grid flaws, but it's not a sign they can't handle electric vehicles at all.

Yeah it's peak hours, during heat waves and fire season. We used to get those messages all the time in the dessert.

California Wants Residents to Limit EV Charging Over Labor Day Weekend

Record high temperatures are expected to put additional strain on the state's power grid.

The California Independent System Operator specifically asks residents to "avoid charging electric vehicles while the Flex Alert is in effect." The ISO says drivers should charge their cars before 4 p.m., at which point "conservation begins to become most critical."
