My Tesla Powerwalls just joined a Virtual Power Plant event! Today my home exported about 8 kW /h back to the grid alongside 12,000+ Bay Area homes, delivering a combined 65 MW to help support the grid during peak demand. It’s amazing to see home batteries doing more than just backup power. ⚡🏡

I wanted to love the Jeep Wrangler 4xe. The Jeep itself is fantastic. The removable doors. The roof. The exposed roll bars. The rear-mounted spare. The electrification… not so much. After driving it, I think Jeep built the wrong type of EV. youtu.be/dGH75iJtcV0

Found this FLO charger at a convenience store in Nova Scotia 🇨🇦 ⚡ Level 2 (J1772): $2/hour ⚡ DC Fast Charger (CCS & CHAdeMO): $20/hour Interesting to see charging billed by the hour instead of by the kWh. Would you rather pay by the hour or by the kWh for EV charging?
