Only in the third of four tiers of escalating measures to conserve electricity and avert potential blackouts.
> and also limiting the use of electric cars, which should be driven only when absolutely necessary

And charging from your own solar panels would still be fine...
- gadflyinyoureye 4y agoI don’t know. There seems to be a movement in Europe to limiting one’s life to a few city blocks. Oxford wants to limit people to only driving about 100 days a year (1). Barcelona is pushing for super blocks (2). In both cases cars are scene as, at best, second class transport. At worse they are a way of taxing people into submission. 2 - https://www.barcelona.cat/pla-superilla-barcelona/en https://www.barcelona.cat/pla-superilla-barcelona/en 1 - https://dailysceptic.org/2022/09/10/net-zero-zealots-on-oxford-council-plan-to-limit-drivers-use-of-roads/ https://dailysceptic.org/2022/09/10/net-zero-zealots-on-oxfo...
