#aardvark raises a great point about #ev #batteries and #electricity #infrastructure - including in #nz which has a lot of #renewable #energy https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0812.s.. It just doesn't seem well thought out, I really suspect there will be massive implications.
Looks like there is likely to be a #surge in #airconditioners - although we are being told they are bad: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail..
