With the San Onofre nuclear plant down there are likely to blackouts this summer. I think we all need to make sure that we aren't part of the problem. It could lead to some really bad press.
Here is a link to get alerts so you know when to not charge:

I think we should also come up with some figures about the relative insignificance of our power draw. I don't know how many leafs are in Southern California but I think it's less than 5000. If 5000 leafs simultaneously plugged in, they would only use 16.5 Megawatts of power or .7% of the power generation capacity of San Onofre. It would nice if someone could write a press release in case someone writes a negative article blaming power outages on EVs this summer.
