Switzerland will BAN electric cars from roads during power shortages
Plans drawn up in the event Switzerland is hit by blackouts this winter call for all electric cars to be banned from the roads except for 'essential journeys' to limit power consumption.
Sounds good. Generator powered by??
Solar and the wind turbine on your roof.
That's right.
That does sound good in theory, but in practice?....
I can imagine the government restricting or fining people for charging their cars with solar over feeding it back to the grid. Because you know, they're going to have an energy crisis and people should do their part for the "social good"
I dunno. Wood gas? biomass pellet co-gen? It's the principle of the blanket ban I am questioning.
I hope the Swiss won't obey.
Hope you have a really good pure sine wave for such an expensive piece of technology that you literally rely on to take you hundreds of thousands of miles.
In practice the government will have called the car manufacturers and the car won't be allowed to charge no matter where the power is from.
