I’m in California, and it’s not bad really. I didn’t have a power cut of more than 15 mins in the last decade. It’s PGE which has been asking for lowering power usage a couple of weeks a year, in peak hours between 4-9 PM. Residential Solar usage is high compared to other states. It is hardly expensive for folks here to install a 10kW system, when housing costs are what they are. We charge our cars during the day, at work or home if wfh, between 10-4PM. Folks without solar charge them after midnight typically. If there are power cuts they are usually localized, and usually in areas with high fire risk(due to heat) so it kind of evens out in the end. Myself, I have solar and a EV and I keep my AC at 70 most of the day.
