And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. It occurred in the wake of the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001, when mismanaged deregulation, market manipulation, and environmental catastrophe combined to unhinge the power grid. AC Propulsion’s experiment was timely.
