Kuthiwani Uma I-EV Yakho Inganika Amandla Ikhaya Lakho Ngesikhathi Se-Blackout?

Ukushaja i-Bidirectional kwakheka ukuze kube uguquko endleleni esiphatha ngayo ukusetshenziswa kwethu kwamandla. Kodwa okokuqala, idinga ukuvela kuma-EV amaningi.

Bekuwumdlalo webhola lezinyawo ku-TV owavusa intshisekelo ka-Nancy Skinner yokushaja okuphindwe kabili, ubuchwepheshe obuvelayo obuvumela ibhethri le-EV ukuthi lingagcini nje ngokucwilisa amandla kodwa liwakhiphe, futhi - ekhaya, kwezinye izimoto noma ngisho nokubuyela kugridi yokusetshenziswa.

“Kwakunentengiso yeloli i-Ford F-150,” kukhumbula uSkinner, isigele sesifunda saseCalifornia esimele i-East Bay yaseSan Francisco. "Lo mfana ushayela phezulu ezintabeni futhi uxhume iloli lakhe egunjini. Hhayi ukuzokhokhisa iloli, kodwa amandla indlwana."

Ngebhethri layo elingu-98-kWh, i-F-150 Lightning ingagcina amandla evuliwe kuze kube yizinsuku ezintathu. Lokho kungaba wusizo kakhulu eCalifornia, osekubone ukuphazamiseka okukhulu okucishe kube yi-100 eminyakeni emihlanu edlule, ngaphezu kwanoma yisiphi esinye isifunda ngaphandle kwaseTexas. Ngo-September 2022, igagasi lokushisa lezinsuku ezingu-10 labona igridi yamandla yase-California ifinyelela izinga eliphezulu lamamegawathi angaphezu kuka-52,000, kwacishe kwashaya igridi kagesi ingaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi.

NgoJanuwari, u-Skinner wethula i-Senate Bill 233, ezodinga zonke izimoto zikagesi, amaloli amancane namabhasi esikole athengiswa e-California ukuze asekele ukushaja okuphindwe kabili ngonyaka wemodeli ka-2030 - iminyaka emihlanu ngaphambi kokuthi umbuso umise ukuvimbela ukuthengiswa kwezimoto ezintsha ezisebenza ngegesi. Igunya lokushaja i-bidirectional lingaqinisekisa ukuthi abenzi bezimoto “abakwazi nje ukubeka inani eliphambili esicini esithile,” kusho uSkinner.

“Wonke umuntu kufanele abe nakho,” enezela. “Uma bekhetha ukuwusebenzisa ukuze banciphise amanani entengo kagesi, noma ukufaka ugesi ezindlini zabo ngesikhathi sokucisha ugesi, bazoba naleyo nketho.”

I-SB-233 isule iSenethi yezwe ngoMeyi ngamavoti angama-29-9. Kungekudala ngemuva kwalokho, abakhiqizi bezimoto abambalwa, okubandakanya i-GM kanye noTesla, bamemezele ukuthi bazokwenza indinganiso yokushaja kabili kumamodeli azayo e-EV. Okwamanje, i-F-150 kanye ne-Nissan Leaf yiwona kuphela ama-EV atholakala eNyakatho Melika anokushaja okuqondiswa kabili okunikwe amandla okudlula amandla angavamile kakhulu.
Kodwa inqubekelaphambili ayihlali ihamba ngendlela eqondile: NgoSepthemba, u-SB-233 washona ekomitini eMkhandlwini waseCalifornia. U-Skinner uthi ufuna “indlela entsha” yokuqinisekisa ukuthi bonke abantu base-California bayahlomula ngokushaja okuphindwe kabili.

Njengoba izinhlekelele zemvelo, isimo sezulu esibi kanye neminye imiphumela yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu ibonakala kakhulu, abantu baseMelika baya ngokuya bephendukela ezinkethweni zamandla avuselelekayo njengezimoto zikagesi namandla elanga. Ukwehla kwezintengo kuma-EVs namakhredithi entela amasha nemihlomulo kusiza ukusheshisa lolo shintsho.
Manje ithemba lokushaja kabili linikeza esinye isizathu sokucabangela ama-EV: amandla okusebenzisa imoto yakho njengomthombo wamandla oyisipele ongakongela lapho ucisha noma uzuze imali uma ungayisebenzisi.

Ukuqiniseka, kukhona izihibe zomgwaqo ngaphambili. Abakhiqizi nomasipala bayaqala ukuhlola izinguquko zengqalasizinda abazozidinga ukuze bazikhulise ukuze benze lesi sici sibe usizo. Izesekeli ezidingekayo azitholakali noma ziyabiza. Futhi kuningi ukufundisa okufanele kwenziwe kubathengi, futhi.

Okucacayo, nokho, ukuthi lobu buchwepheshe bunamandla okuguqula kakhulu indlela esiphatha ngayo izimpilo zethu.
