SD County a test case
There is already much opposition to new power lines here is San Diego County, where they are being blamed for the devastating wildfires last year. Some groups believe new power plants can be built within the county, but that too will face considerable opposition. Already there is a move afoot to move the two power plants built on the coast further inland. These plants used crude oil at one time, and the oil was transferred by ship, from offshore terminals.
At issue most people believe solar will come to the rescue, and that consumers will be selling as much electricity as they use in just a few years.
These hybrid chargers would have an electronic sensor which only allows them to charge during off hours, which is one way of controlling the number of miles people drive. The real issue is growth, and probably number one on the list of problems is a new airport, which while it would relieve airport traffic would encourage more development, and the need for more electric power.
