Tesla asked owners in Texas not to charge their cars during a heat wave to help avoid blackouts and overloading the state’s failing power grid.

The alert comes as the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) called on residents to conserve energy … [asking them] to refrain from using electricity from appliances and more to stop the grid from being pushed to near-emergency conditions.

In a [recent] interview … with Fox News Digital, energy expert Jonathan Lesser warned that the power crisis in Texas underscores the broader problems with green energy.
