You going to force companies to provide chargers in their parking lots? Hell, plenty of people have to pay their employees to park their car at work already. You think they’re just going to give free electricity?

Mine was kinda that we do if we could adjust our patterns and habits a little bit to live with the world as it is vs imposing ourselves on it. Forcing “companies” (read corpos) to do something other than maximize extraction is a big part of that

A lot of grids have put battery storage into operation so there’s not nearly as much curtailment during the day time anymore

Heck yeah they have. Cheaper power during peak production is still very much a thing though, as it should be imo. Slurp up that juice as it pours in!
