I don’t like electric cars. I think they are marginally useful if you only drive to the grocery store or pick up the kids after soccer practice.
But if you drive distance they are a huge pain.
And now there’s an even bigger issue.
They don’t like the heat.
Consider it ironic, or at least a little poetic: Electric vehicles, great for combating climate change, don’t do well in extreme heat.

That’s right. Your expensive car, with its $25,000 battery, doesn’t really work well in the heat.
Oh, and then there’s that other issue…
Electric grid.
When the heat goes up, really up, as it has done recently in parts of the country, the electric grid gets overtaxed. Really overtaxed, And when every electric car owner is working to charge an overtaxed battery it puts even more pressure on the grid.
Here we go again…
Country is going through another heat wave. Many are running a/c’s just to survive & putting a strain on the electric grid. Power outages in regions predicted. Now they want to plug millions of EV’s on this overtaxed grid. Can someone make it make sense? pic.twitter.com/nBLq8k3TAV— A. Rios (@easternair355) July 17, 2023
But never at a loss for really stupid ideas, the wacko environmental left has a solution:
Environmental activists have released their latest proposal to “stop climate change”: Electrical grid blackouts.https://t.co/t8cOKbt422

All to fix an imaginary problem. Are we really that stupid?
