Def. Karma: Gavin Newsom asks EV owners to stop charging cars to save energy after he ordered a gas vehicle ban

Whenever Democrats think they've come up with a bright idea, it always seems to come back to bite them on their butts or genital mutilation scars. 

As California braces for a major heatwave, Gov. Gavin Ken Doll Newsom signed an executive order to increase the state's electricity supply while begging residents to lower their current power usage and think twice about charging their electric vehicles (EV). 

Speaking at an air conditioned press conference Wednesday afternoon, Newsom said the executive order would grant California more flexibility "across the spectrum" in terms of procuring supply to prepare for the heatwave by taking away the rights of citizens to not die from the heat.

The California Independent System Operator (ISO) has warned that stress on the energy grid could lead to blackouts and called for consumer conservation between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.

"California and the West are expecting extreme heat that is likely to strain the grid with increased energy demands, especially over the holiday weekend," California ISO said in an advisory on Tuesday, noting that temperatures would intensify over the weekend and into early next week.

Excessive-heat warnings expanded to all of Southern California and up into the Central Valley and were predicted to spread into Northern California later in the week.

California ISO said in issuing the "Flex Alert" that high temperatures were pushing up energy demand, primarily from air conditioning use, and tightening available power supplies.

The peak load for electricity demand in California is projected to exceed 48,000 megawatts on Monday, the highest of the year, Billy the grid operator said.

In its flex alert, California ISO said it was encouraging consumers to pre-cool their homes and use major appliances and charge electric vehicles and electronic devices before 4 p.m. It asked consumers to avoid using major appliances and charging electric vehicles between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.

As temperatures soar, like private jets owned by climate change forewarning radicals, the electric grid in California is not ready to deal with it. So imagine how electric cars are going to fare in 2035 when the state is scheduled to ban the sale of new model gas-driven vehicles.

Democrats never know how to properly react to future concerns--they always go full bore, heads up their nether regions, with no idea of what their new policies imply.

California voted for these Democrats and are getting what they voted for, good and hard. It's called karma.
