It's basically managing the grid based on usage to prevent overload. I think the process is fair as it offers financial incentives to electric car owners and it does not prevent the electric car driver from charging if it's not approved by them. Awesome idea!

Automakers would be expected to develop and deploy technologies compatible with these smart grid communications.

Re: Article: Is Tesla Overreaching With Gigafactory Tactics? by Peng-Tzu Liu - Friday, November 21, 2014, 6:40 PM Tesla has their owned battery to offer their EV, and now the battery is going to be powered by Gigafactory which in charge of Tesla Model 3. Some might think that Tesla should not state government against each other to get the best deal for the corporateowned Gigafactory; however, in the business aspect, Tesla has know what their are doing and has their specific point of view; therefore, Tesla has right to choose the best.

The company also announced expanded production to get even more vehicles out the door by the end of 2015.

Therefore, a prediction of 500,000 EVs per year by 2020, seems to be a far reach at this point. Not to mention that in the article “Tesla Model X Reservation Holders Get An Email”, Tesla stated that current customers may be waiting until 2016 to receive their preordered Model X cars. If they are not able to produce today’s production demands, how do they expect to produce 5X this amount in a few years? Even though they are planning on producing a cheaper EV with a driving range of 200 miles, the range doesn’t compare to an average gasoline powered vehicle, which averages over 300 miles per tank full. They would have to drastically increase the amount of charging stations in order to stay competitive.

According to research "71% of Consumers Think Green When Purchasing" record-high 71 percent of Americans consider the environment when they shop, up from 66 percent in 2008, according to research from Cone Communications."
