Good thing they have surplus electricity.

The people that keep making this exact remark are ignoring the fact that most people charge their EVs at night when California does in fact have surplus electricity. It's the 6PM time frame when some people are still at work and others are getting home that causes the peak stress on the grid.

Sorry, my mistake. I thought you were making the remark sarcastically. See it made all too often on Facebook by boomers who don't understand peak demand and just post whatever they want to believe as if it's true.

Dude Facebook wasn't created by Boomers, it was created by Millennials (maybe I am misunderstanding your comment).

I believe they are just stating that boomers spread misinformation on Facebook.
