I, for one, will be charging during off peak hours and getting a lower rate.

Lol you dont represent more than affluent subset
As soon as I retired, I’m buying an electric mower, trimmer and blower and will do my own yard work. I’m one of the few that does their own snow removal in the hood.
Yeah, it was only banned in 2021. Really screwed the companies that bought all those equipments.
Really screws the taxpayers. Cops and support staff dealing with this ?? I mean cmon. Spoiled little rich folk I guess
Well, the taxpayers wanted it. Not sure getting what you want is getting screwed
What does that mean? Real life?
Again is PSE&G, one of the largest electricity providers in the state, not upgrading their grid?
Well, yeah it does . Those cops are in the state pension and probably get state benefits. That’s on top of whatever state aid that department gets. Equipment, cars, grants etc . That department probably gets some feds money too.
So yeah taxpayers are getting screwed because this shouldn’t be police work. But it’s not the first time public funds are wasted…. and not the last.
The California small motor reg I saw pertains only to new equipment sold in California for model year 2024 and beyond. It does not have anything to do with usage or existing equipment.
So are there more concerning regs being passed? Is it being discussed in NJ?
What? Aren’t those equipment there already. It’s not like they hired more cops for enforcement. If anything, it’s another revenue driver for the town.
Yes , that equipment is there . They are using that equipment for this , that’s a cost . Cops are spending time on this , that’s a cost. I doubt they’re raising enough revenue to make up for this. No sure how anyone could think checking a leaf blower’s specs is police work .
I have PSE&G electric. I had zero issues this past summer during peak season. Our house remained cool.
So no, I really don't know what you are talking about.

Musk making his fake prediction about the future is all about him making money. He is engaging in marketing, in manipulation, not in prediction-making.
He is way too smart to put much stock in absolutist predictions like that.
You have to be kidding. You don’t know that PSE&G reduces its power output levels during hot days because the grid can’t handle it?? Stop
Are you saying the cops usually just sit at the police station instead of patrolling the town if this law wasn’t passed?
No, I trust they are doing police work.
Do you think police work should involve checking leaf blower specs?
The majority of the offenders would be minorities so its a targeted policy bordering on racist
I’m just busting your balls. Everyone complied because they didn’t want to lose the business during COVID. Don’t think any tickets were given out.
Sounds like a noise complaint ... pretty standard police work.
This is a nice looking EV:
Get a longer extension cord.
If you had an EV, you could plug it into your EV.
Go Green!
No, I noticed no real dip in cooling or any issues with my AC. My refrigerator had no issues despite you telling us to stand next to a major appliance and hear the problems from PSEG cutting power.
You really seem bothered by this and the concept of people adding EVs in the future. It's kind of weird.
You just have to have enough batteries, which gets expensive. I have a Ryobi blower that I got on sale. I can do our yard but I had to invest in 3-4 large batteries that I have to rotate through a couple Ryobi fast chargers. I spent way more on the batteries and chargers than I did the blowers. Ask me why I did it? LOL, I have no idea. I thought the idea of electric blower was cool.
The set up works for me because I just walk into my garage unplug from the charger and keep going. I can see how that is completely unfeasible for a landscape crew out on the road.
It’s not weird that I don’t trust an investor owned company to be ready when they are struggling now
