   I realize this post has a little age on it, but, you're absolutely right in   
   so far as our grids are concerned. Much of it is still from the days of   
   Edison and westinghouse. We've been patching it for decades when it should   
   have been overhauled instead. A lot of the EV chargers in this area are fed   
   from diesel generators.  There's only so much amperage on those high   
   tension wires to go around.   
      
   RAMAmegaddon is real. Prices are getting batshit crazy. And it's only going   
   to get worse.
