You really have to be a few volts short of a full charge to own an EV.

California electric vehicle owners are being faced with having to pay twice to charge their EVs after power company PG&E announced a plan to drain EV batteries remotely to help stabilize the power grid during peak usage.
The concept, known as “vehicle-to-grid charging, involves sending power from an EV's battery back to the grid while the car is parked and plugged in. This technology is still in its early stages and faces significant costs, hindering widespread adoption. However, EVs could play a crucial role in ensuring grid stability during periods of high energy demand and solar power shortages.
California is a prime market for this technology, with over a third of all registered EVs in the US located in the state. As part of its commitment to combat c*****e c****e, California mandates that all new vehicles sold must be electric or plug-in hybrids by 2035. According to Poppe, there are already enough EVs on the road in PG&E's service area to return approximately 9,000 megawatts of power to the grid.
And guess what? The power company is teaming with General Motors and getting the i***t car makers to include the capability in their EV models.
